Dr. Peggy M. Earnest
Peggy has an MS from Bloomsbury University and a PhD from the University of CT. She has 25 years of experience in improving the speech and communication skills of nonverbal, minimally verbal and highly unintelligible pediatric patients. She believes that speech and language therapy plans should be highly individualized and that her job is to treat the whole child. Family involvement and collaboration are of the utmost importance to a child’s progress in therapy.

Peggy specializes in treating motor speech disorders, which include dysarthria of speech, childhood apraxia of speech, sensory and tone disorders. 

Peggy has done research and has written about these topics. She is also a fiction author of a young adult novel which stars an inspirational main character with Down syndrome.
