About Natalia Rodriguez, MS, CF-SLP

I am a bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist passionate about helping individuals develop confident, functional communication through individualized and evidence-based therapy. I earned my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences and my Bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas at Austin. I hold my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) and have experience working across both medical, educational, and clinical settings.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of pediatric speech and language disorders, including articulation and phonological disorders, motor speech challenges, language delays, AAC, and pediatric feeding and oral-motor difficulties. I have specialized training in PROMPT (Level 1) and have completed the TalkTools Feeding Therapy course, which allows me to incorporate motor-speech and oral-motor approaches to support speech clarity, feeding development, and overall oral coordination.

My clinical approach focuses on the connection between motor planning, oral-motor function, and the nervous system’s role in communication and feeding development. I believe that effective therapy begins with building strong relationships and creating a supportive environment where children feel safe, regulated, and motivated to communicate.

I have experience working with children with diverse communication needs, including speech sound disorders, autism spectrum disorder, motor speech challenges, and children who benefit from additional support with attention, sensory regulation, and behavior during communication tasks. I enjoy collaborating closely with families and providing practical strategies that can be incorporated into everyday routines to support meaningful progress.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors and staying active. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, running, water sports, reading, and anything that allows me to connect with nature.
