Meet Katie: Pediatric Speech Therapy Tips for Parents

Watch on YouTube · More tips on the Speech by Katie channel

Hi parents — I'm Katie Tashkin, MS, CCC-SLP. For more than 17 years I've helped children communicate with confidence — from speech delays and articulation challenges to apraxia, language, literacy foundations, and feeding concerns.

I created Speech by Katie so Tampa Bay families can get warm, evidence-based care in the settings that actually work for real life: in your home, at school, or virtually across Florida.
