Hey There, Friends!

Welcome

I want to thank you for coming to visit my website.  I have always wanted to share my ideas, tips & tricks, and resources for Speech Language Pathology.  I finally took the leap in the spring of 2020.

About Me

I’ve been a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) since 2005.  I’ve worked in a variety of settings, but most of my experience has been working with young children in preschool and clinical settings.

I am a strength-based SLP with additional training and education in Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, & ADHD.

I am a Mom to 4 wonderful children.  Our whole household is neurodiverse: ADHD, Autism, Gifted, and more!  This gives me the unique perspective of both sides of the therapy table.  As the parent of neurodiverse children, I am familiar and empathetic with the challenges many families face.  It can be overwhelming to parent a child with any type of delay.  Have experienced this working with children both as an SLP and as a Mom, I truly understand the challenges.  I love working with families towards their goals.

What I Offer

I offer blog posts with ideas for both professionals and parents.  This information may change over time, as I obtain ongoing education and as the world develops and changes (example: the neurodiversity movement and change from Autism Awareness to Autism Acceptance).  I also offer consultations and lectures for groups or classes.  You can send me a direct request at eheplerslp@gmail.com.

Pop over to instagram to peek inside my day to day life both at home and at work.
