About the Founder
My name is Celeste Roseberry-McKibbin, Ph.D. I am a professor in Sacramento State University’s Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology. I also work directly with 3-18 year old students as a speech-language pathologist in the San Juan Unified School District. University teaching and doing hands-on therapy with kids is the best of both worlds!
