Get to know Speech-Language Pathologist Ms. Lori A. Brady, who serves patients in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ms. Brady has faithfully undertaken the role of speech-language pathologist at the Hamilton County Education Service Center (ESC) for the past 23 years. Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Hamilton County ESC provides support to educational entities, non-profits, and other government agencies in instruction, administration, personnel, and finance. Having been making a difference in Ohio’s schools for over 100 years, ESCs were established in 1914 through an act of the Ohio General Assembly. 

Throughout Ms. Brady’s varied role, she displays particular expertise in autism and augmentative communication. Currently, she is contracted with one school district where she treats elementary age students. With extensive experience treating preschool to middle school age children, she is also able to communicate in sign language when necessary.

Attributing her success to her hard work and her dedication, Ms. Brady’s achievements led to her being the well-deserved recipient of the PTA Friends of the Children and the Irene Bandy Hedden awards. Alongside her many triumphs, she is a very successful grant writer and has had the privilege to adapt 700 books for special needs children, to produce intervention materials, and to work with a therapy dog.

Additionally, she is a member of the American Speech–Language–Hearing Association, a professional association for speech–language pathologists, audiologists, and speech, language, and hearing scientists in the United States and internationally. 

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. Brady, 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.

In the future, Ms. Brady aspires to continue developing her professional skills, striving to better meet the needs of the children and enabling them to become more successful in society. When not busy working, she dedicates her time to helping the SPCA, Shriners, St. Jude’s, the Association for the Blind, and is a foster parent.
