Clinical experience

Kara joined Beyond Limits Pediatric Therapy Center in 2020 and currently serves as a PRN Speech-Language Pathologist. With more than 25 years of experience in the public school system, she brings extensive knowledge and expertise in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating children with a wide range of speech, language, and communication disorders.

In addition to her work at Beyond Limits, Kara works full-time as a school-based Speech-Language Pathologist. Her clinical background also includes experience in private practice and other clinical settings, giving her a well-rounded perspective on supporting children's communication needs across different environments.

Kara has a particular interest in working with children who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, helping them develop effective ways to express their wants, needs, and thoughts. She values individualized intervention and collaboration with families and educators to support meaningful communication and greater independence in everyday life.

As a PRN therapist, Kara continues to share her knowledge and experience with our Beyond Limits patients and families, helping children build confidence and strengthen their communication skills.
