Hi! I`m Rana.
MA, CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert. AVT
I am a bilingual (English/Arabic) Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of Sunbird Speech Therapy. With over 10 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children of all ages, from infants to young adults. My professional background encompasses early intervention programs, schools and pediatric hospitals. These varied settings have provided me with invaluable insights, which I integrate into my practice.
In 2021, I became a certified Listening and Spoken Language Specialist Auditory-Verbal Therapist (LSLS Cert. AVT), dedicated to helping children who are deaf and hard of hearing master spoken language. My specialization deepened my understanding of language acquisition and highlighted the crucial role of parent coaching for successful interventions. I aim to build collaborative and supportive partnerships with caregivers, offering practical and effective tools to enhance your child`s language development.
It`s an honor to be a part of your child`s developmental journey, and I look forward to contributing to their success alongside you!
With gratitude,
Rana

“If parents everywhere understood that a word spoken to a young child is not simply a word but a building block for that child`s brain, nurturing a stable, empathetic, intelligent adult, and had the support to make it happen, what a different world this would be.”
