"Katie was very highly recommended by our two speech pathologists and she has been working with my son for the past 3 years. Her patience and calm nature work very well with my son who needs clear guidance. She is persistent when he gets distracted and she is caring when he struggles. His academic performance has been improving every year and we are very pleased with her service. I hope she continues to work with my son as long as possible! Thank you, Katie!"

"I find it most difficult to write letters of recommendations for educators I think the most highly of. Katie is well admired, trusted, and respected among anyone she works with. It is with my highest regard that I recommend Katie LaPeter. She is one of the best I have had the honor of working with in my 12 years as a principal and 23 years as an educator. "

"Katie is articulate, quick and extremely competent. She is organized in setting up her caseload, scheduling
meetings and communicating with both students, parents and staff. Katie is creative and innovative. She
pivots with changes in technology and incorporates new ideas and techniques based on evidence-based
practice; she is thoughtful in her approach.
I have collaborated with Katie regarding student behaviors, developed goal ideas and discussed student
progress on a regular basis. Katie is quick to respond to suggestions and incorporates ideas immediately
in order to provide the most effective therapy for each of her students.
Katie goes above and beyond expectations to provide speech therapy to the students on her caseload.
During Covid-19, which created new challenges in public schools, Katie created a weekly communication
tool to provide resources and ideas to parents and staff. She communicated regularly with teachers and
parents, to ensure she was providing the best possible support for each of the students in her care.
I highly recommend Katie for a position as a Speech-Language Pathologist, in a school or clinical setting.
With Katie as a teammate, you will be grateful to partner with such a highly competent and professional
employee."

“Katie set the bar high for SLPs I work with after her. She is so knowledgeable about her field, but what impressed me the most was her ability to evaluate through a whole-child lens and consider all factors that could contribute to speech/language concerns. When meeting with families as a team, Katie did not hesitate to step forward and explain results or the Special Education process at a level the family could access. When working with teachers, Katie listened to their concerns, provided consultation as needed, and provided evidence-based interventions and strategies that were accessible for the teacher in the classroom setting. Her presence was always calm, approachable, and competent. Katie was a great teammate, asked questions when necessary, was consistently present and available, and collaborated when needed/requested. Any student we had working with her, we knew was in the best of hands.”
