About Kelly Ott
With 25 years experience as a licensed Speech Language Pathologist, consultant, educator and administrator, I have served children and adults with a diverse range of speech, language, swallowing, learning, and communicative needs. I have provided direct speech pathology services, specialized tutoring services, educator professional development training, accent reduction, and business communication and presentation training. I have had the opportunity to serve student needs from several different perspectives including speech language pathologist, classroom teacher, and administrator. Walking in each professional\'s shoes has increased my depth of perception in each role. This understanding has helped me strengthen collaboration within the educational system to increase student success. I am dedicated to providing students, educators, and small businesses with specialized strategies for achievement. My mission is to change the world one word at a time.
