About Us
Margaret Crawford
Owner
My name is Margaret Crawford and I am currently in my 15th year of practice as a clinical Speech-Language Pathologist. In 2006, I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. Additionally, I hold both state and national licenses through the Speech-Language Pathology, Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensers board and the American Speech Hearing Association (ASHA). Since graduating, I have enjoyed working in a variety of settings including hospitals, private practices, schools, and have now decided to open my own practice in order to better serve families in my community! The most rewarding part of my job is providing tools which enable children to communicate with their family members, educators and peers. Understanding and utilizing effective communication skills and strategies can be life-changing; I am grateful to be part of that process.
