About me
Hello! I'm Leah. During my freshman year at NC State, I was an undeclared major, unsure of my career path. However, I was certain of two things: 1) I wanted to work with children, and 2) I hoped to avoid math-based professions at all costs (numbers are definitely not my thing!). I was introduced to speech-language pathology through an elective course that was designed to match our personalities, strengths, and interests with potential career options. After shadowing several pediatric SLPs, I knew I had found my calling. I'm incredibly grateful for that discovery because my work allows me to positively impact children's lives and build meaningful relationships with families, which is what I'm all about! I previously worked at the Lindamood-Bell Learning Center in my hometown, Charlotte, NC. I have been trained in their literacy/math programs and implemented them during 1:1 instruction: Seeing Stars, Visualizing & Verbalizing, LiPS, and On Cloud Nine Math. I'm also currently subscribed to The Myo Membership and really enjoy the professional development opportunities they provide in the areas of orofacial myofunctional therapy and feeding. I have worked in settings such as schools and private practice. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, functional, family-centric, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.

Other interests
I love to travel and check off new destinations on my never-ending bucket list. I enjoy any activity that gets me outside on a nice day! I'm a tennis player and I also recently bought my first set of golf clubs. Lately, I've developed an interest in needlepoint and indoor plants, which have been fun and relaxing additions to my hobbies. And of course, spending time with my family and friends :)

Mrs. Leah makes this such an enjoyable experience for my son. She is patient and kind. He never gets frustrated or feels like he can’t do it. She boosts his confidence and he loves learning with her.

Ms. Leah Roop is an amazing therapist. She not only listens to our concerns and ideas, but she acts on them. My son’s speech and interest in practicing his speech exercises has increased dramatically. We both look forward to his sessions with Ms. Leah. She is exceptional!

Leah was a wonderful speech therapist. She helped me better than any therapist I had as a kid and I was able to get rid of this lateral lisp for good after many years of feeling that it would be impossible. She was observant, experienced, and very kind and aware. I highly recommend her for children and adults.

In my opinion, she truly deserves a raise!

We absolutely loved Leah Roop - we would recommend her 10/10. She was great with my son, and we saw a lot of improvement. Just wish it was part of our insurance - for our family it got to be too much out of pocket.

My speech therapist Leah Roop has been absolutely wonderful, which is the reason for 5 star rating! She provides clear instructions and thoughtfully tailors each session to suit my current level. I really appreciate her flexibility and consideration during my recent trip abroad. She even provided personalized home assignment to help me practice while I was away, which I found incredibly helpful. I really appreciate her support and dedication.
