Leandra is an NLA trained clinician; she completed the Meaningful Speech course on Gestalt Language Processing, Echolalia and Natural Language Acquisition and has a deep understanding of how to work with children who communicate with delayed echolalia (scripting). Over the years, she has expanded her knowledge in a variety of areas by completing continuing education courses and attending conventions. She has taken courses in Pediatric feeding, Apraxia, Behavioral Strategies, Literacy, Articulation, Language Development and more; she is always looking for the next course that piques her interest so she can continue learning to help serve her clients to the best of her ability.

She loves how this career challenges her to continuously learn new and useful tools that help her support the needs of the children she works with.
