Giovanna Walker

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.A., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 29 insurance plans

Hi! I'm Giovanna. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) to give patients access to communication and aid in enhanced quality of life.

I think relationships are such a foundational piece of who we are and how we feel our best, and I want to help my patients have all the tools they can to establish and maintain these relationships across all ages.

I have received trainings and certifications in the following: ASHA National Outcomes Measurement System (NOMS), MBSImP Standardized Training and Reliability Testing, Estill Voice Training, ProAccent Coaching, and AAC intensive clinical training.

I have worked in clinical settings such as skilled nursing facilities, pediatric private practice, schools, neurological in-patient rehabilitation units, and clinics. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, client-centered, functional, family-centric, sensory integrated, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.

I’ll like to express how wonderful our teacher is she is always able to get my son who’s autistic/adhd back into the lesson she has control over the session and always produces results this is amazing especially because it’s online! I’d like to also say when we have issues signing in the help desk is always ready to help. Over all even when issues arise because well that’s life it’s over all a 10 out of 10!
