About Melissa K.
As an audiologist and speech-language pathologist, I specialize in evaluating and treating Auditory Processing Disorders using the Buffalo Model. Many individuals with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) struggle with difficulties in understanding speech, especially in noisy environments, despite having normal hearing. APD can affect listening, learning, and communication, and treatment can lead to improved comprehension, academic performance, and overall quality of life.I also incorporate alternative sound therapies like Sound Bowls and Tuning Forks, which have proven to be powerful tools for promoting well-being and emotional health.In addition to my clinical work, I am a certified dementia practitioner, leading group sessions to improve the quality of life for individuals with dementia. My approach blends evidence-based audiology and speech-language pathology with holistic therapies, aiming to enhance communication, cognitive function, and emotional health.I am committed to expanding how we approach auditory health, combining traditional techniques with innovative practices to support both neurological and emotional well-being.
