In this episode, I am joined by Melissa Cipyak, a Speech-Language Pathologist for 12 years. Melissa has primarily worked as a school-based SLP, she has also worked part-time in pediatric private practices, as well as teaching 1st grade for a year.
Melissa has 2 children and her family is her priority. She left Speech Therapy to be a stay at home mom for 11 years and jumped back into the field this past school year, working in a K-12 school and building relationships with her students.
Language has always been her passion since she believes that communication is the key to creating our relationships.
