Meet Ryan Emily
Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi, I'm Ryan Emily, speech-language pathologist, and owner of Speech Pearls! I'm a licensed SLP with a passion for helping children find their voice, connect with others, and communicate with confidence. I'm so glad you're here!
At Speech Pearls, I believe everyone deserves to be heard. I follow a child-centered, play-based approach, because I believe the best learning happens when children feel supported, safe, and truly seen. Each session is personalized to your child's unique strengths, interests, and developmental needs.
I created Speech Pearls to offer a warm environment where children and their families feel celebrated with every step forward. There is so much potential within each child, and it's my job to help that potential unfold - one pearl at a time.
Let's connect and begin this journey together!

Initial Evaluation
The initial evaluation is the first step in understanding your child's speech, language, feeding, or communication needs. During this comprehensive assessment, Miss Ryan will gather information, establish rapport, observe skills, and use functional communication methods to create a personalized plan tailored to your goals.

Recurring Treatment Sessions
Following the initial evaluation, recurring sessions provide consistent intervention to help your child make meaningful progress. Each session addresses individual goals, using engaging play skills to build communication over time. Miss Ryan works closely with you to ensure therapy stays functional, inviting, and supportive every step of the way.
Ryan is an incredibly skilled, thoughtful and curious SLP. Her ability to build a meaningful relationship, rapport, and trust with our daughter was magical to see. With this loving relationship as their foundation, our daughter and Ryan built a friendship of trust and play that translates into highly productive learning sessions. Ryan is passionate about tailoring her style and approach. She is curious about new methods, techniques and therapies and is willing to try anything it will take to see our kids grow and thrive. She takes everything our daughter says to heart and values her opinions and each word she works so hard to produce - Ryan not only wants to see our children thrive, she honors them through everything she does. She is a phenomenal practitioner, therapist and student of the world of language development.

My daughter struggled with picky eating and sensory issues around food, and we felt overwhelmed. Working with Miss Ryan has been a game changer. She met our daughter with patience and understanding, and slowly built trust in a way that felt safe and empowering. Sessions were fun, sensory-friendly and centered around our daughter's specific needs. Now she is open to trying new foods and even starting to enjoy the mealtime process.
We are beyond thankful!

At 2.5 years old, our son was barely saying any words, and everyday felt like frustration for both him and us. From the initial evaluation session, Miss Ryan made our child feel comfortable and engaged through play. She immediately connected with our son in such a gentle and playful way. After a few sessions, we started hearing new words and seeing real progress. Ryan gave us simple, practical strategies we could use at home and we watched as our child became more confident, expressive, and proud of himself. We're so thankful for Ryan's support, patience, and expertise.
