Sara Kadoch

Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech and Language Pathology, CCC-SLP

I graduated with a master’s degree in Speech and Language Pathology from Columbia University. Prior to my time at Columbia, I completed my undergraduate studies at UT Austin, majoring in Human Development and Family Sciences. I discovered my passion for working with children who have disabilities through volunteer work and babysitting.

I am now an active leader in Team Davis Juniors, a non-profit organization that supports children with disabilities in Davis. This role has allowed me to build community for families who often feel isolated, while also gaining experience working with a diverse group of children.

My therapy approach is play-based and child-led. I believe that creating a positive and nurturing environment is essential for fostering growth and progress. I aim to build trust and rapport with my young clients, making the entire experience enjoyable and engaging for them.

Above all, my goal is to prioritize connection over compliance. Establishing a strong bond with my clients and their families is crucial for successful therapy outcomes. By focusing on building relationships, I can better understand their unique needs. I am committed to providing exceptional care and support to every child I work with, and I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.
