Speech Therapy for Children

Jo Ann Gramlich has worked as a pediatric speech-language pathologist for almost 30 years!! She uses her optimistic nature to empower children to be confident in their voice so they can be heard and recognized out in the world. It all begins with Jo Ann, a.k.a. Miss JoJo, teaching and helping children to tap into their imagination and skillful minds. She feels her philosophy of making learning fun and educational will bring out the best in children and help them explore their creative abilities during the early years and beyond. She continues to share her message with parents, caregivers, and educators to help bring awareness of the importance of early intervention and language development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
