About Elizabeth McGuire:

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Elizabeth was fortunate to begin her work in the field during her undergraduate studies, gaining early experience that led to a master’s degree in 2003, multiple certifications, and over 20 years of hands-on expertise. While she’s worked with people of all ages, Elizabeth found her true calling with the youngest communicators: toddlers and preschoolers. She knows that the first four years are when the growth of communication skills is critical.

She’s dedicated her career to helping parents nurture that growth with proven, effective techniques. For over 20 years, she has been helping families unlock their child’s potential by strengthening speech, language, and behavior from the very start. When families bring her into the picture, communication struggles don’t just improve, they turn into breakthroughs.

Elizabeth loves empowering parents with the knowledge and tools they need to help their children thrive, giving parents the tools and confidence to reshape their child’s development and their family’s future.
