Meet the SLP
Hello! I’mTaylor Felling. I’m an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist who has been working in the field since 2018. I received my master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Marquette University in 2018, and have since worked in a hospital system, a pediatric-focused practice, and within the school system. I have worked with patients across the age-range (18 months to 101 years), and through my experiences, found my passion for working with children with various needs and ability-levels. I couldn’t imagine having any other career: I get to participate in fun and engaging therapy, witness progress in real-time, partner with caregivers, and build lasting and trusting relationships with my families.
I started Little Bird Speech Therapy as a way to provide functional, effective therapy services without the influence of insurance companies or the barriers encountered within the school system. I’m passionate about play-based therapy, connection over compliance, progress-focused plans, and making therapy FUN.
Why Private-Pay?
After spending several years working in the medical system and within a private pediatric clinic, I saw how drastically insurance companies influenced the services that clients received, or did not receive. I also witnessed many insured clients strangely paid MORE out-of-pocket for each therapy session than some of my uninsured clients.
Cutting out insurance companies allows your child to receive outstanding care with transparent pricing, and without the influence of an uninformed non-SLP deciding what is and isn’t necessary for your child’s progress.
