My Name is Natalie Hole, practicing speech therapist, accent reduction consultant and owner of Roots Speech. It is my goal to help provide you and your family with the appropriate services and/or resources so that you may reach your speech and language goals, whatever they may be.
I am a Sonoma County native, who moved to Los Angeles to attend California State University, Northridge where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Communicative Disorders. During my undergraduate program, I spent 2 years working as a behavioral therapist and developed a passion for working with children. I went on to earn my Master of Science degrees in Communicative Disorders, graduating in December of 2010 and gained experience working in several different settings along the way that included: The Early Intervention Center at California State University, Northridge, an out-patient Traumatic Brain Injury facility, and a public elementary school. I then returned to the San Francisco Bay Area and joined a team of speech therapist at a pediatric private clinic. In 2012, I decided that I would prefer to work in patients’ homes so that I could support and nurture their language skills in their natural environments. I felt passionate about working closely with parents, siblings, teachers and health professionals, to determine the most effective way to enhance each child’s speech and language learning.
