Aleisha Allen
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)
About me
Hi! I'm Aleisha. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) because of how incredibly important and fascinating the functions of thinking, communicating, and eating/swallowing are! When given the task of choosing a major, it hadn't occurred to me that this was a field of study, or even considered a science. I knew that with this career choice, I would be able to learn immensely, use my prior skills, and make meaningful change in the lives of others. Plus, I knew that I would never get bored! I have taken courses in the following: tracheostomy and ventilation, fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), modified barium swallow study (MBSS), Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, Basic Life Support CPR, and a few others. I have taught courses in Diagnostic Methods & Practice in Speech-Language Pathology (Graduate Level), Clinical Practicum (Graduate Level), SLPA Supervision, and more. I have worked in the following settings: acute care hospitals (all units), acute care rehabilitation facilities, outpatient hospitals and facilities, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and SLP administration. My clinical style is holistic and client-centered, for ease of generalization and increased functional use of skills. I believe the outcomes of our time together are based on a partnered approach. I want my clients to feel as much a part of the clinical process as I am as the clinician. Teamwork makes the dream work! Usually, the more connected the client feels to the therapy, the more empowered they feel to use what we practice, outside of the sessions.

Everything went well for my son. He did so good with Aleisha she is one in a million. She is terrific with him. He has had several SLP's in his life that have helped him but I have never seen him interact with someone like he does Aleisha. She did a great job and made him feel comfortable which is difficult for him but somehow she got him through and he enjoyed it. I am so grateful to have Expressable for him. I have recommended them to others I know.

I've gotten so much information an tools for future episodes of laryngitis. I was also informed that if needed, I could have a reboot session. This was very reassuring information. Thank you.

Every session that Aleisha does with my son goes quite well. She can gets so many things from him in such a little amount of time. He is very comfortable with her which is not easy for him at all. We just adore her she is so easy to talk to as a mom and my son looks forward to his sessions. She is one in a million.

Aleisha is AMAZING! She always gives my daughter a "choice" of activities, making it seem like just a playdate. My daughter looks forward to therapy every week.

I'm the mom of (my son) who had SUCH a great time with his therapist. She was so so helpful and truly brought out the best in him. I'm so happy I found you guys on Google. He will be back in the fall to resume therapy. I've already noticed a difference in his speech. Well done everyone! And a special thanks and lots of love to Aleisha!
