Breanna Waldrup, MS, CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist with over 17 years of experience, more than 13 of which have been focused on the diagnosis and treatment of motor speech disorders, particularly childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).

During this time she has evaluated and treated hundreds of children with motor speech disorders utilizing a variety of evidence-based motor treatment methodologies.

Breanna is passionate about individualizing therapy to the child’s current needs, so she has not only undergone extensive training in motor treatment methodologies, but also methods for facilitating emotional and sensory regulation as well as supporting language development for both analytic and Gestalt language processors. She has also addressed literacy challenges for many of the children she treats.

Breanna continues to maintain a caseload of children with motor speech challenges and is continually learning how to best support all children, including children who are neurodiverse and from diverse backgrounds.

For the past 10 years, Breanna has shared her wealth of clinical experience through presentations on CAS and literacy, as well as providing consultations to families and professionals and conducting expert-level speech evaluations and therapy intensives.

A self-professed speech nerd, she has a passion for staying up-to-date on the latest research evidence and translating the information into clinical practice.

Breanna currently serves as the Educational Program Director for the Bjorem & Bolles Childhood Apraxia Education Initiative.
