She has a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech Language Hearing Association, and is licensed in the states of Texas and California.

Leigh has practiced in various settings, including public schools, early intervention, preschools, ABA centers, home health, hospital out-patient clinic, private clinical settings, high school and beyond. She has specialized training in various methodologies, including PROMPT, PECS, SCERTS, Social Thinking, Zones of Regulation, Kaufman Speech interventions, ABA techniques, Talk Tools Oral Placement Therapy, as well as TOTS: Tethered Oral Tissues Specialty Training. She has training in the evidenced based Hanen approach to language therapy for infants/toddlers in It Takes Two To Talk, the first words program Target Word, the early childhood teacher training Learning Language and Loving It, and the autism program More Than Words.

The partnership between therapist, student and parents ensures good progress and generalization of skills while the child is receiving services. Leigh believes that kids learn best when they are engaged and having fun.

“Listening and trying to understand the needs of those we would communicate with seems to me to be the essential prerequisite of any real communication. And we might as well aim for real communication.” -Fred Rogers
