Vicky Reales, M.S., CCC-SLP

While in the schools and in the private setting, Vicky evaluated and treated Pediatric clients with a broad range of difficulties and disabilities including but not limited to the areas of articulation, fluency, voice, expressive/receptive/pragmatic language and feeding disorders. Vicky’s wide array of experience working in Pediatrics allows her to provide clients with the highest level of care. She values a dynamic, comprehensive, and family-oriented approach to treatment and is committed to achieving success with each and every client she serves. Vicky has a particular area of interest in Autism and has spent her entire career working with clients that have severe communication needs, incorporating the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication as needed and when appropriate.
