Parents & Caregivers
Welcome to WSHLA’s Community Service Page. WSHLA is the regional association of speech-language pathologists and audiologists who live and work in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam counties. WSHLA members are certified by the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and by the New York State Department of Education.
We work with people of all ages (infants, toddlers, school-age children, and adults) with differences and disorders of speech, language, hearing, cognition, and feeding/swallowing.
If you are seeking a speech-language pathologist to work with a loved one we invite you to use our “find a WSHLA therapist” function. Your information will be sent to our president who will help you find the professional you are looking for.
If you have questions or need more specific assistance, please do not hesitate to email us at www.wshla.org.
