Shannon has been providing speech therapy services since 1992 and enjoys working with both children and adults. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Education with a specialty in Speech Therapy from Baylor University and a Master of Arts in Communication Disorders from the University of Texas at Austin.

 

She has experience working across a wide range of settings, including home health, hospitals, nursing homes, public schools, and private therapy clinics. Shannon has treated individuals with cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, language delays and disorders, articulation and phonological disorders, cognitive impairments, stroke, and head injuries. She is trained in the Hanen Program It Takes Two to Talk and is a Certified Hippotherapy Clinical Specialist.

 

Shannon is passionate about communication and the impact it has on everyday life. As she shares, “I chose speech therapy because I knew I wanted to work in the medical field and help others—and I love to talk. Communication is so important in life. It’s incredibly rewarding to see a child develop language or an adult regain their ability to communicate.”

 

Shannon and her family have lived in Round Rock since 1996. In her spare time, she enjoys riding horses, working on crossword puzzles, reading, gardening, kayaking, and hiking and biking on local trails.
