Hi, I’m Vianca! I’m a pediatric speech language pathologist, AAC specialist, and a proud Filipina. 🇵ðŸ‡
I’ve been working with young children and their families for over 5 years. Prior to moving to the US, I worked in the Philippines for 3 years in three different settings: a rehabilitation clinic, an out-patient hospital, and as a travel SLP. I’m currently based in an Illinois preschool, servicing both inclusion and special education classrooms.
My clinical and research passions are in autism spectrum disorder, augmentative alternative communication, and bilingualism. I also love connecting with other professionals who share my passions.
I made the Filipino SLP Collective to serve as a hub for Filipino-centered research, resources, and courses in the field of communication science disorders. If you’re new here, welcome and I hope to connect soon!Â
