About Leigh Ann Porter MA, CCC-SLP

Leigh Ann Porter is a practicing medical SLP in Kansas City, working across outpatient, acute, and inpatient rehab units. Building on a passion for education and implementing best-practice approaches, Leigh Ann created the Speech Uncensored Podcast to connect medical SLPs with meaningful resources, emerging research, and practical tools. 

Leigh Ann’s diverse educational background in international studies and public health provides a foundation to approach speech pathology through the lens of cultural attentiveness and advocacy. She has presented for ASHA CEUs to regional SLPs on topics such as the influence of the respiratory system and cough on dysphagia, a review of the literature on dysphagia exercises, and generating measurable dysphagia goals.
