Erin Walta MS, CCC-SLP

I am a licensed speech-language pathologist whose passion for communication disorders began when volunteering at an auditory-oral school for children who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing. I utilize and integrate multi-sensory therapy approaches for the pediatric population and believe in a wholesome approach by collaborating with multiple disciplines to ensure child development and progress. I specialize in treating oral-motor based speech disorders, early language development, play-based therapy approach, gestalt language processing, and augmentative-alternative communication (PECS, speech-generating devices, basic American Sign Language, etc.). Growth is enhanced by the quality of interactions and connections children have with their support system. I prioritize meeting the child where they are developmentally and building upon their foundational skills. I create individualized treatment plans and therapy sessions geared towards your child’s interests and develop personalized materials. A couple of my favorite things about being a speech-language pathologist is watching a child’s personality grow and shine through as their speech and language skills expand. Another is working with families to learn their values and integrating their unique culture within therapy. In my free time, I love to travel, go to concerts, garden, and spend time with my family and friends!
