Dr. Sarah Calloway, CCC-SLP
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist
Ph.D., CCC-SLP · ASHA Certified
I founded Early Speech & Language Screenings because I kept seeing the same story: a child enters kindergarten struggling, and a family wonders why no one caught it sooner. Early identification changes outcomes — and a 30-minute telehealth screening can be the turning point.
With over a decade of clinical experience in pediatric speech-language pathology, I've worked in schools, hospitals, and private practice settings across the country. My approach combines standardized assessment tools with careful observation and genuine curiosity about each child's communication style. I believe every family deserves clear, honest information — not jargon — so you can make confident decisions about your child's development.

My Approach
A screening is only as good as the conversation that follows it. Here's how I work:
Evidence-based tools
I use standardized, norm-referenced screening instruments validated for the kindergarten age range — not informal checklists.
Family-centered practice
You know your child best. I listen carefully to your observations and incorporate them into every screening.
Clear, actionable results
After every session, you receive a written summary with plain-language findings and specific next-step recommendations.
No unnecessary referrals
If your child's skills are age-appropriate, I'll tell you clearly — and explain what to watch for as they grow.
