Welcome to sango speech therapy!
Let's work together to reach your family's goals.
At Sango Speech Therapy, we take a whole-family approach to speech, language, and feeding intervention. We invite parents and caregivers to get involved in our play based sessions so that progress can be made every day. We can't wait to show your child all that they can do!
Speech therapy
Articulation ~ Speech Sound Delays
Is your child difficult to understand? We can help them use new speech sounds & correct their sound errors using a child-lead approach. Through speech therapy, your child can speak more clearly, experience less frustration, and communicate confidently.
language therapy
Late Talkers ~ Receptive & Expressive Delays
We teach foundational language skills during routines and play-based activities! Our goal is to help your child understand what they are told, learn new vocabulary words, and independently communicate their needs, wants, & ideas with the world.
feeding & Myofunctional therapy
Pediatric Feeding Disorders ~ Picky Eating ~ Tongue-Ties & Lip-Ties ~Myofunctional Disorders
Whether your baby struggles with feeding, or you have a picky eater at home, we can help restore the joy of mealtimes. Our sessions are designed to support you in helping your child become a safe and effective eater.
parent coaching
Practical Strategies ~ Education ~ Resources
We know that YOU are your child's most important teacher and their best advocate. Parent coaching allows us to empower you with resources, strategies, and tools to help you navigate everyday struggles. Small changes can make a huge difference!

Catherine Connell, M.Ed., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
I am a speech therapist with over 7 years of experience working in outpatient clinics, schools, skilled nursing facilities, home health settings, and private practice. Throughout my career, I have found that therapy is most impactful when caregivers are involved, goals target a functional skill and the child leads.
I founded Sango Speech Therapy out of a desire to do therapy differently. While many therapists treat symptoms, I am committed to looking at the big picture, addressing foundational skills, and designing therapy sessions that lead to lasting change.
In my free time, you'll find me gardening, swimming, and spending quality time with my family.
