April Jackson

Hi, I’m April! I became a speech-language pathologist (SLP) because I believe communication is one of the most powerful ways we connect with others and navigate the world. I’m passionate about using my skills to support individuals in building meaningful, functional communication that enhances their everyday lives.

I’ve worked across a variety of settings, including adult rehabilitation, public schools, home health, private practice (both speech-only and multidisciplinary clinics), ABA centers, and telepractice. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals across the lifespan with a wide range of communication needs while strengthening my collaborative, individualized approach to care.

I’m especially passionate about augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), motor-based speech interventions, natural language development approaches, and supporting neurodiverse individuals through affirming, strengths-based care. I also enjoy helping teams and families feel confident implementing communication strategies across environments. I have completed specialized training in Natural Language Acquisition (NLA), Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP), Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) treatment using Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), and Assistive Technology Team collaboration. I have also provided training to organizations on the fundamentals of AAC.

My therapy approach is holistic, client-centered, and highly individualized, with an emphasis on functional communication, family involvement, cultural responsiveness, and empowering each client to become a confident self-advocate.
