Hi, I’m Sarah Simkin, M.S., CCC-SLP, and I’ve been a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist since 2008. I hold a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from California State University, Northridge, and am certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed in the state of California.

 

I’m a mother to two amazing girls, Joey and Lulu, and married to my partner, Jordan. (That’s us below—on a beach in Mexico!)

​

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including children’s hospitals, home health, public schools, and charter programs. Most recently, I served as the lead SLP for a virtual charter school, conducting comprehensive speech-language assessments across grade levels while also maintaining a small private practice.

I’ve since transitioned to this work full time, focusing exclusively on:

• Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)

• Contracted speech and language assessments for schools and charter programs

• Consultations for families, teachers, and school teams

• Speaking engagements and workshops for parent communities and professional development

​​

This shift reflects my deep commitment to providing thorough, legally aligned evaluations, collaborative support, and actionable recommendations that help students thrive. I continue to have a special interest in working with neurodiverse learners and supporting the systems around them with practical tools and clarity.

I have a special interest and training in the following:
