Reasons to consider speech therapy
…My toddler will grunt and point to things that he wants, but he won’t try to tell me with words or sounds.
…It takes a lot of effort on my part to encourage and hear my child say words or sounds.
…My child has behaviors (hitting, biting, yelling, crying) because he is frustrated that he can’t say what he wants to say.
…I can’t understand what my child is trying to tell me, and other adults have an even harder time.
…It seems that my child is missing the smaller pieces that make a full sentence.
…I have no idea what my child did today at school because he struggles to tell me about his day.
…Reading and writing are very effortful for my child.
…My child is very shy around other children and struggles to make friends at school.
…He has a hard time speaking up to his teacher about asking for permission to go use the restroom (or other basic needs).
…My child is self conscious about his stuttering.
…We are considering (or have) a communication device for my child and we’d like some instruction on how to use it.
Meet Tamra
Speech Therapy
Tucson, AZ
Hi! I’m Tamra Mullen M.S. CCC-SLP.
I provide bilingual (English/Spanish) speech therapy in Tucson. I have over a decade of experience in working with infants through school aged children, with a specialty in bilingual language acquisition, evaluation and treatment. I provide individual speech therapy with a heavy emphasis on parent/caregiver education and training to promote continued language growth within the home.
I became a speech language pathologist because my passion is helping children and parents communicate together. Raising kids is hard enough, (I know, I have four!) and it’s stressful when a child simply cannot clearly state their wants and needs…to you, or to a teacher or daycare provider. Communication doesn’t need to be your struggle.
That’s where I come in. I am here to support you and guide you on this journey to helping your child overcome breakdowns in communication. I want you and your child to bond and enjoy each other through your shared communication. Let’s work together to help communication get better.
I look forward to guiding your family on this journey to improving your child’s communication.
