Sarah Schmidt

Hi! I’m Sarah. I became a speech therapist because I grew up watching my mom, a special education teacher, help children with diverse learning styles. I saw how life-changing it was when a child was truly understood, and I knew I wanted to create those moments, too.

Now, I get to work with children and their families, helping parents connect with their little ones and helping kids find their voices. My favorite moments are when a technique clicks, a sound comes out correctly, or a new word is expressed, and a child's whole face lights up. That spark reminds me why I chose this field--and why I love it every day.

I hold specialized training in Sensory Integration, PROMPT, DTTC, Gestalt Language Processing (including presenting and teaching this approach to staff). My clinical experience spans schools, private practice, nonprofit clinics, outpatient pediatrics, and early intervention (birth-to-3) programs.

I take a holistic, client-centered, and highly individualized approach to therapy. By integrating routines-based and sensory-integration-informed practices, I support meaningful carryover of skills into daily life. I also prioritize family involvement, strengths-based strategies, and functional outcomes, helping each client build confidence, independence, and effective communication skills.
