I’m a licensed SLP who has been practicing since 2010. One of the things I love most about my job is that it has given me so many wonderful experiences! Being an SLP took me throughout the Midwest before taking me all the way across the ocean to the Middle East, where I provided therapy to school-aged children in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. 

While abroad, my early childhood students and clients truly stole my heart and I knew that early childhood was where I needed and wanted to build my practice. When I came back to the U.S. in 2017, I was thrilled to find a position doing just that! I currently work in the school setting in southern Illinois where I grew up. I am a single mama to a wild and wonderful 4-year-old daughter, Tuleen. We spend as much of our free time as possible in our garden or outside, but if the weather isn’t cooperating, we’re typically throwing a dance party in the kitchen!

You can probably tell that things get a little hectic around here and I am always looking for ways to simplify life in general. SLP life is no different! My hope when I started Speech it Simple was that I could help take some of the time (and stress!) out of planning therapy, with smart, simple resources you can use every day. More than that though, I want to build a supportive community for anyone who needs it. If you get a chance, come over to instagram and say hello!  You can also reach out to me any time at bethany@speechitsimple.com. Thanks so much for stopping by! I really am so happy you’re here!
