Jackie DeWaal
My name is Jackie DeWaal, and I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist who has been practicing for three years. I studied Speech Pathology & Audiology at Western Michigan University where I received both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. I have experience with a variety of communication disorders for both children and adults, including receptive and expressive language impairments, phonological impairments, apraxia, social/pragmatic disorders, AAC, cognitive disorders, aphasia, and dysphagia. I have worked in a variety of settings including skilled nursing facilities with the geriatric population, inpatient rehabilitation and acute care services at the local hospital for ages 18+, outpatient services for children and adults 2+, and both face-to-face and virtual services for students K-12.

About
Jackie
I knew I wanted to become an SLP ever since high school and I was very determined and motivated all throughout college and graduate school to continue my path and earn my degree. I have since loved my career and the joys and challenges it brings.
Everyone has something about themselves they don’t like, or wish they could change or alter, and it’s our job to help provide them with the skills and confidence to overcome challenges to be the best version of themselves they can be.
I am passionate about helping students learn skills and develop techniques/strategies to excel academically, and build confidence that can follow them throughout the remainder of their academic careers.
