Buffy Walker
I’m a pediatric speech therapist who is passionate about building connections and helping children unlock their potential. My specializations are wide and varied since I’ve been a speech pathologist since 1999. However some of my primary areas of passion are in pediatric feeding disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and language disorders. Here in our practice we provide high quality, evidence-based therapy that we hope is fun, engaging, and focused on the unique needs of every child and family.
