ABOUT THE GUEST

There isn’t a stone in the world of Speech Pathology that Deborah Brooks has left unturned. She provides speech therapy to individuals of all ages and levels of need throughout NYC. From early intervention to skilled nursing, Deborah covers it all. Deborah is the author and illustrator of the speech therapy coloring book series, Color in Speech. She earned her B.A. in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 2010 and her M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology in 2012, both from St. John’s University in Queens. Today, she is an adjunct professor at that same university. Additionally, she works at a special needs elementary school in Brooklyn and supervises clinicians pursuing licensure in the field of SLP. But wait, there’s more, Deborah and cohost Maria Kotsonis have a weekly Speech Therapy podcast on iTunes and Spotify called SLPs Wine and Cheese. If you’d like to see Deborah’s therapy in action, you’re in luck because, daily, she posts videos to her Instagram account @deborahbrooksslp.
