About
Deborah Weitzman, M.S., CCC-SLP
Owner, Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist
I was born and raised in Guatemala and came to the United States to study. I have a B.S. in Communication Disorders from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology from Pacific University. I am licensed in Idaho and certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. I have worked with children and adults in private practice, schools, and home health.
I grew up in a bilingual home so having a dedicated bilingual therapist was a need, but my family was unable to find one and I needed two therapist to help me in both languages. This is the reason I founded Habla Boise Speech Therapy. I provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services to bilingual families in Boise.
Are you wondering if both languages confuse my child or will they develop language the same as a monolingual child? I can answer that and other questions — I look forward to working with your family.
