Annie Schubert MA.,CCC-SLPCertified Speech-Language PathologistClinic DirectorAfter studying Linguistics at the University of Michigan, I received my Master’s Degree in Communication Disorders at Louisiana State University. I am grateful to have experience as an SLP in a variety of settings across the lifespan including: language development, articulation/phonology, reading and writing, executive functioning, social/pragmatic language, stuttering, voice dysfunction, VCD, cognition, dysphagia (swallowing dysfunction), stroke/aphasia, and TBI rehabilitation. I am passionate about speech-language pathology and providing individualized intervention to best meet my patients’ needs. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, singing in the car, and traveling.
Amanda Keare MA, CCC-SLPCertified Speech-Language PathologistHi! I’m a mom to two human and two dog kiddos. I have an undergraduate degree in Linguistics, and I got my Master’s degree as a Speech Language Pathologist from San Diego State University. I have a passion for language and communication, which means that I love what I do! My husband is Deaf, so I am fluent in American Sign Language. Specialty areas include cognition, phonology, accent modification, voice/vocal fold disorders, AAC/SGD devices, and a broad spectrum of social communication concerns. I love working with clients of all types and ages. Figuring out how to connect with you and support your communication goals is my biggest joy and passion as an SLP. My hobbies include rock-climbing, cold swimming, dancing, making music, and cooking.
Karen Adkins, MS, CCC-SLPCertified Speech-Language PathologistMy family and I moved to Fort Collins in 2020 and we are so happy to be here. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Human Development from UC Davis, a bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Washington, and a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of the Pacific. I have enjoyed working in private practices in both CA and AZ where I had the opportunity to work and learn alongside therapists in other disciplines. I have experience working with children and young adults in the areas of feeding development, articulation, expressive/receptive language development, pragmatic language, phonological processing, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), cleft palate, and fluency. I have a particular passion for family-oriented early childhood intervention and working with the PODD communication system. I am trained in The SOS Approach to Feeding and PROMPT. In my free time you will find me hiking, playing with my daughter, or enjoying a good book with a hot cup of tea!
Kelly Ward MA.,CCC-SLPCertified Speech-Language PathologistBorn and raised in Maine, I am thrilled to call Fort Collins home. After completing an undergraduate degree in Family Studies from University of New Hampshire in 2005, I earned my Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders from University of Maine in 2008. I have been fortunate to work as a speech-language pathologist in a variety of settings, including public schools, private practice, healthcare clinics, and with early childhood intervention agencies. I am experienced in diagnosis and treatment in the areas of receptive/expressive and pragmatic language, articulation, phonological processing, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), fluency, as well as cognitive-linguistic interventions. I believe in a client-centered approach to treatment, utilizing a variety of methods to assist adults and children to progress toward their language goals.
