MEET YOUR SPEECH THERAPIST
Lisa Cruz, M.S. Ed., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist, ADHD Coach
Lisa brings nearly 20 years of clinical experience to her work at Expressive Edge. She has served children of all ages in private practice at local clinics, homes, and schools.
Above all, Lisa believes that parent involvement is the key to helping children reach their goals in therapy. She is committed to prioritizing your family's values and making sure your child makes a little progress each day... which adds up to big results!
​
Outside of work, Lisa enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, reading, and doing all things Peloton. She looks forward to meeting your family!
Every success my son has had is because Ms. Lisa built the foundation he needed.
"Ms. Lisa was put on my son's case after changing our previous speech therapist for lack of progress. She was so successful with him! Using her training of children who struggled to eat, she got my son to eat different kinds of foods. Our next obstacles were reading and math. Again, success! She used games and strategies that helped my son make connections so he could read words and then stories. She helped him learn basic math skills too. My son is now 21. He eats all kinds of foods, can read on a 4th-grade level, and has all basic math skills. Every success my son has had is because Ms. Lisa built the foundation he needed. She is by far one of the most important people to have joined us on our journey. "
