Elizabeth Ho, M.H.Sc., CCC-SLP
I am a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist who believes that all children have important and wonderful things to communicate. I am excited to provide fun, effective, evidence-based therapy that helps clients and their families improve in speech, language, and communication using a variety of techniques and tools.
I grew up in Ontario, Canada, and moved to the Bay Area in 2010 with my husband. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Linguistics at Queen’s University (Kingston, Canada) and my Masters in Health Sciences in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Toronto (Toronto, Canada). Before moving to California, I worked as an Augmentative and Alternative Communication specialist at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Centre (Toronto, Canada). Here in the Bay Area, I worked in a private practice and as an Augmentative and Alternative Communication consultant.
