Sound Achievement: Pediatric Speech, Language, and Literacy Services

Welcome to Sound Achievement, where children's communication goals become a reality. I'm Dr. Alycia Cummings, CCC-SLP, a passionate and dedicated speech-language pathologist who founded this private practice to empower children and help them overcome speech challenges. With a profound commitment to making a difference in children's lives, I specialize in providing personalized and effective intervention services for a range of speech-related issues.

 

With a deep passion for assisting children in their speech journey, my focus lies in providing personalized and effective intervention services for a range of communication challenges, including articulation impairments, childhood apraxia of speech, phonological processing disorders, speech sound disorders, early literacy deficits, and language disorders.

 

My clinical expertise extends across the lifespan. However, I find great joy and professional fulfillment in working primarily with children between the ages of 3 and 12. These formative years play a vital role in phonological (i.e., speech sound) and literacy development. By offering targeted and personalized interventions during this critical period, we can make a lasting impact on a child's communication abilities. I am driven by the desire to help children achieve their maximum communication potential, and it is this passion that has shaped my career and led me to specialize in high-quality services and empowering families through telepractice. By holding speech-language pathology licenses in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Minnesota, and Maine, I have the privilege of serving children throughout the United States from the comfort of their homes. My commitment to accessibility knows no bounds, as I firmly believe every child deserves access to top-quality care, regardless of their location. 

 

My expertise stems from a rich background in academia and clinical practice, allowing me to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role as a speech therapist in private practice. I am committed to staying at the forefront of research and implementing evidence-based strategies to ensure the best possible outcomes for every child I work with. By implementing evidence-based practices and customizing interventions, my goal is to pave the way for successful outcomes. Telepractice allows us to work together as a team, overcoming geographical barriers and ensuring that we create an innovative, personalized treatment plan tailored to each child's unique learning needs and family dynamics. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in your child's speech journey and set them up for lifelong success in communication.

 

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my approach to speech therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your child, helping them unlock their full communication potential.
