“It wasn’t until my third year of college that I was finally diagnosed with Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Receiving the diagnosis changed my life. I had specialized tutors who taught me how to study and learn the way that best suited my learning style. I accepted my learning disabilities and received the help I needed by attending workshops and study groups. In addition to my learning disabilities, I was diagnosis with neurofibromatosis several weeks after I was born. Due to this, I had countless surgeries to remove tumors around my body. My academic struggles, along with my diagnosis of neurofibromatosis shaped who I am as a speech-language pathologist. I know first hand that every child has his or her own learning style and it is my job to teach them in a way that best suits their abilities. It is important to me that each child embraces their unique qualities” as stated by Ms. Chang.

Ms. Chang is a member of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association and the California Speech and Hearing Association.

Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or a speech therapist. SLPs, like Ms. Chang, treat and diagnose speaking disabilities. They help patients with articulation, stuttering, fluency, the rhythm of speech, and more. Additionally, they may treat patients who have difficulty with language and swallowing. Patients see SLPs for a variety of reasons, including relearning language after an accident, overcoming a voice disorder, enhancing social communication skills, as well as improving speaking clarity.
