Shannon Stover, M.A. CCC-SLP
Hi! I'm Shannon, a pediatric speech-language pathologist and mom of two little ones.
With over five years of experience working with children in public schools, private practice, and New Jersey Early Intervention, I've had the privilege of supporting children with autism, language delays, articulation and phonological disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, feeding difficulties, and social communication needs.
As both a clinician and a mother, I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you're concerned about your child's development. My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, parents feel heard, and progress feels achievable.
I believe the best therapy happens through trust, connection, play, and strong collaboration with families. Every child is unique, and I strive to make therapy meaningful, engaging, and tailored to your child's individual strengths and needs.
I look forward to partnering with your family and celebrating each step of your child's growth and success.
