Alexander Whelan MS, CCC-SLP
Speech Therapist
I have been practicing as a speech-language pathologist in clinical settings, schools, childcare centers, and homes since 2012. For the last several years I have specialized in stuttering but I also have extensive experience working with articulation and phonological delays, receptive and expressive language delays, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, and children and adolescents with autism.
As a person who stutters who initially had planned a different career path, I personally experienced the impact that a speech disorder can have on one's life. It has been my career goal to support and empower my clients to communicate openly and confidently regardless of their speech or language disorder.

He is friendly and knowledgeable and has an amazing ability to get on my son’s level and relates to him so well.
I’ve seen major improvements in my son in the few short weeks Alex has worked with him. I honestly couldn’t be happier!!!
Alex communicates really well with me, too.
I’m so grateful we found him!

We love Alex and are very happy with the therapy so far! My daughter really likes him too!

Alex is GREAT! He is very fun and easy to work with. He and my son love sports so he integrates sports analogies into the articulation lessons. He works hard to help me find a way to help my son, so that we can practice our lessons at home efficiently.

We are with TherapyWorks for three years. Very nice experience. We were really lucky to be referred to Alex Whelan. He is highly professional, very effective and simple fun! Our son made significant improvement since he started working with TherapyWorks. He is always looking forward to his therapy sessions, keep saying how much help he is getting working with Alex and even asked for more sessions! Definitely recommend!
