Welcome to Pacific Speech & Language!

Welcome to Pacific Speech and Language!

At PSL, we work with children ages 6 months through 10 years. We have been providing speech-language services for young children and their families since 1997.

We specialize in:

Motor speech disorders (articulation disorders, apraxia, etc.)
Language disorders and language delays, including "late talkers"
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Augmentative communication (speech output devices, picture exchange/PECS, etc.)
Preverbal communication delay in infants and toddlers

We have experience with children from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Research shows that speech-language treatment helps children with delays and disorders communicate better. Even children who are not talking yet can benefit from speech-language intervention. The earlier a child begins treatment, the better the outcome will be.

A major goal of each treatment session is establishing a social connection with the child while having lots of fun! Each child's treatment plan is individualized for maximum progress on communication goals.

Shelly Gramza, M.A., CCC-SLP, PC has been a speech-language pathologist in the greater Seattle area since 1997. She has been working with young children with special needs since 1991. Shelly received her Master’s degree (M.A.) from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.

She holds a Washington state license and a Certificate of Clinical Competence in speech-language pathology (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
