MEET OUR MONTGOMERY SPEECH THERAPISTS

Ms. Katelynn
Owner/Speech-Language Pathologist I'm Katelynn Hightower! I received my undergraduate degree at AUM (2013) and my Master's at the University of Montevallo (2016). Since graduating, I've worked as a pediatric SLP in the hospital setting and within the school system. While working at the hospital, I learned that I wanted my focus to be on pediatric patients. I transitioned to the school system and realized how integral parents are to a child’s success in therapy.
When I'm not working, I enjoy completing puzzles, reading books, and spending time with my family. I also love playing with my Maltipoo (and office assistant), Shepherd. 🐶 |

Mrs. Katie
I'm Katie Benoit! I am a pediatric speech language pathologist. I graduated from Florida State University with a Master’s of Science degree in 2004. Being a Navy spouse has allowed me the opportunity to live and work in Florida, Rhode Island, California, Italy, Virginia, Hawaii, and Alabama. Along the way, I found my passion in serving the early intervention population. I love working alongside family members to develop a plan that helps support their child with their communication journey.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and traveling with my family. |
