Leandra Solis, B.S., Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (Pronouns She/Her/Hers)

Leandra Solis received her bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Texas in Austin, Tx, and since, has spent over 13 years working with children as a Speech Language Pathologist Assistant in schools, home health, and clinical settings, in Washington, Kansas, and Texas. In addition to her experience as a Speech Language Pathologist Assistant, she was also employed for 5 years working with children and their families as a Lead Early Intervention Specialist in Georgia and South Carolina. She collaborated closely with Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Physical Therapists, to coordinate care and implement developmental plans.

 Leandra is an NLA trained clinician; she completed the Meaningful Speech course on Gestalt Language Processing, Echolalia and Natural Language Acquisition and has a deep understanding of how to work with children who communicate with delayed echolalia (scripting). Over the years, she has expanded her knowledge in a variety of areas by completing continuing education courses and attending conventions. She has completed coursework in AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), Apraxia, Stuttering, Articulation and Phonological Patterns, Language Development, and more. She is always looking for the next course that piques her interest so she can continue learning to help serve her clients to the best of her ability. Her work has been rooted in a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach that values and honors each child's unique way of communicating and interacting with the world. Leandra aims to connect with each child and work with their family to create trust and develop progress. She loves how this career challenges her to continuously learn new and useful tools that help her support the needs of the children she works with. 

Leandra is a fun, positive, and motivated individual who is passionate about making an impact in the community. She and her husband enjoy attending sporting events, hiking, and traveling. They share their home with their fun and playful dog, Tater, and their feisty cat, Rusko. She’s also a devoted Texas Longhorn fan—Hook 'Em Horns!
