Meet Amy!
Amy is a co-owner of Expansion Speech Therapy. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from West Chester University of Pennsylvania in 2014 and completed her Master’s Degree at Ithaca College in 2016. She always knew she wanted to pursue speech language pathology, thanks to her sister-in-law (Casey!) who was pursuing this career before her! However, they both found their own specialty areas. Amy has been focusing on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) her entire career. She has worked with children with a wide variety of diagnoses and access methods (touch, eye gaze, and switch scanning) across settings. She has experience in schools, hospitals and outpatient programs, specializing in AAC. Amy evaluates and treats with a strengths based approach to identify what a child can do independently and how to enhance that skill in order to increase participation and/or communication. Each child is unique and each child should be provided the opportunity to communicate.
Pursuing an AAC device can be overwhelming. Let Amy help you! She believes in a coaching model to help families feel supported and fully understand their child’s communication device. AAC can be a long process and it takes a village, but Amy & Casey are here every step of the way!

She is currently completing her clinical fellowship year at a charter school in North Philadelphia, working with students from kindergarten through sixth grade, as well as in clinic!
For as long as she could remember, Andrea always wanted to work with children in some capacity. She began her college career as an education major, where she then discovered and was intrigued by the field of speech-language pathology. Andrea appreciated and valued the more individualized relationships formed with children that is available outside of the general education classroom. She noticed it allowed children to improve in areas where they demonstrate the most needs across settings and communication partners.
After stepping away from the field to start a family of her own, Andrea was once again drawn back to speech-language pathology when her younger son had his own needs related to feeding, speech, and language. She then found herself on the parent side of things – learning from some of the incredible professionals in the field and at Expansion. She is excited to be back to give other families the knowledge and confidence they need to help their little ones be successful!
