      <image:title>About Aileen, Speech Therapist - Hi, I’m Aileen!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist, and mom to two girls. I have 12+ years experience in building and promoting speech, language, play, social-emotional and literacy skills in children ages 0-21. I have worked with children of varying ability levels to help them achieve their full potential as effective and efficient communicators. I started How to Tell a Story as a way to share ideas with parents to promote speech and language development naturally with their children. I am a strong believer that teaching in context is everything. By context, I mean by talking, reading and playing. I chose the name How to Tell a Story because I believe the universal goal of communication is connection. There is no better way in achieving connection than being able to share a story with a friend. However, there are many underlying skills that need to line up in order to connect over a personal narrative. I’m here to share my knowledge and skills to empower you as your child’s first, and best, teacher!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Speech therapist for my child - “Aileen is unique as a speech therapist. She is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also creates a positive and supportive environment. My daughter looked forward to her time in therapy and I truly believe it made her progress and experience that much better. It seems that many parents are hesitant to enlist their children in speech therapy. However, I can assure you that Aileen's services are a gift and invaluable resource for your child.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Speech therapist for my child - “One of the best things to come out of the pandemic is that we connected with Aileen. She started giving our son virtual speech therapy. He loves the games they play together. My husband and I hear them laughing and talking up a storm. We’ve seen a huge improvement with how he says his r sounds. Aileen is by far the best speech therapist I’ve ever met!”</image:title>
