About The Coleman Therapy Center

CATHERINE COLEMAN, M.S. CCC-SLP

CTC is owned and directed by Catherine B. Coleman, M.S. CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist.  Catherine has owned SPEAC, LLC, Speech Pathology, Education and Consulting for 8 years.  She has recently expanded the speech therapy practice to include other disciplines and the therapeutic horseback riding.

Catherine is a former George Washington University Clinical Supervisor and Adjunct Professor.  Classes taught by Catherine were Voice and Diction, Language Disorders and Development, Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing, Augmentative and Alternative Communication methods and a weekly clinical seminar.

Catherine believes that families play a crucial role in the therapeutic process.  Families are always encouraged to join in therapy sessions when appropriate and typically receive a full explanation why certain therapies are used and how these can be reinforced in the home environment.  Our clinic therapy rooms all have one way mirrors so parents can observe therapy whenever they choose to do so.

All of the CTC therapists attend continuing education programs on the therapies which are supported by research and evidence-based practice.  All therapy treatment plans are individualized to meet the needs of each child and typically contain a family/home plan to ensure skill generalization.
