In this episode, I am joined by Karla Garcia as she shares her journey from humble beginnings to establishing her own practice, Leonia Speech and Language Services, LLC.

Karla discusses her dual experiences with privilege and minority challenges, how she overcame bullying and stuttering, and her advocacy for bilingual and minority families. She highlights the significance of support systems, her specialized approach to Gestalt Language Processing, and offers advice to minorities entering the field.

Karla also explains how she balances a full-time job with a growing private practice, and the importance of acceptance and diversity in speech therapy.
