Get to know Speech-Language Pathologist Ms. Celeste Orozco Wallace, who practices in Torrance, California.

Ms. Wallace is a licensed speech-language pathologist at Kids in Motion Pediatric Therapy in Torrance, California. She loves serving children and helping them reach their full potential in a safe and fun environment.

Kids in Motion Pediatric Therapy is an innovative private physical, speech, and occupational therapy practice dedicated to improving the well-being of children throughout Southern California. Designed for young children of all abilities—and their families—the providers offer a variety of services that can help each child experience the world with greater confidence thanks to improvements in mobility, strength and coordination, cognition, communication, social-emotional development, and/or sensory processing. For the child, his or her therapy sessions are fun—not a series of rote activities, maximizing their motivation and participation in the therapeutic process.

Throughout her academic career, Ms. Wallace received her Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology with the Certificate in Concussion Management from The University of Texas at El Paso. During this time, she gained pediatric experience in the hospital setting where she was selected to be an intern in the craniofacial and cleft care team at the El Paso Children’s Hospital, in outpatient pediatrics working with athletes in the Concussion Management Clinical Research Laboratory, and in the school setting working with children in pre-kindergarten. 

Moreover, she has worked with children and adolescents as a volunteer at Gigi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Center, and as a research assistant using baby sign in the Augmentative and Alternative Communication Research Laboratory. 

Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or a speech therapist. SLPs 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 social skills. 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 her free time, Ms. Wallace enjoys spending time with her dogs, playing her flute, and playing volleyball.
