Introduction

My practice combines evidence-based intervention with compassionate, individualized care across a wide range of communication challenges. I specialize in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), working with clients who benefit from technology to express themselves. Whether addressing childhood speech sound disorders, developmental delays, autism-related communication needs, or adult cognitive and swallowing difficulties, I create comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each person's unique needs. With advanced training in assessment, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I'm committed to providing high-quality care that helps individuals communicate more effectively and confidently in their daily lives.

    Margarita is incredibly intelligent, kind, and always makes herself available to help. She is patient and accepting with all her clients across all age groups, and families consistently give her great feedback with no complaints. I would absolutely recommend her!
