Openings this week
Hi, I'm Sherry
I'm a speech-language pathologist with a master's degree, ASHA certification (CCC-SLP) and a Texas license. I trained at the University of Florida and spent years in schools working with IEPs and 504 plans, so I know how to talk to your child's teacher. I specialize in late talkers, speech sounds, language, gestalt language processing and autism-related communication.
Every plan I write starts with listening to you. You know your child. I know what works. Together we make progress you can hear at the dinner table.
What Texas families say
G★★★★★5.0 on Google
"From day one, she created a welcoming and supportive environment that instantly put him at ease. She is highly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about her patients. She also provided our family with great support and strategies to practice at home."
"Ms. Sherry is so amazing. I was skeptical at first of doing virtual therapy but it has helped my little one so much. He has said many new words with Ms. Sherry's help. We look forward to each session."
"Oasis Speech did an amazing job with scheduling and communication for my son's sessions. She was so patient with him and really had him engaged."
“Will my 3-year-old sit still for video?”
Short answer: they don't have to. Sessions are play-based. Your child controls games on the screen, and you're next to them. Here's what parents are surprised by:
- No transition meltdowns. No car seat, no waiting room, no 45-minute drive home with a tired kid.
- You learn the techniques. You see every session, so the 6 other days of the week count too.
- The same therapist every time. No rotating staff. Sherry sees your child from evaluation to discharge.
- It works. Telepractice produces outcomes equal to in-person for most pediatric speech and language goals.
For children under 2 or kids who need hands-on feeding or oral-motor work, we'll tell you on the free call if video is not the right fit.
