Fourth Enhanced Speech Therapy was birthed with the idea to serve children and empower families with children who struggle with their communication skills. We provide pediatric speech, language, cognitive, social skills therapy and evaluation services in the Greater Orlando, FL area. We address individual goals in a comfortable learning environment whether at your home or your child’s daycare using play-based, child-centered and family centered approaches.

The ability to communicate is an essential skill that enables individuals to express their wants and needs in everyday situations. We know that having a child with a communication disorder can be overwhelming; therefore, we take pride in educating caregivers on strategies that can be utilized to promote generalization in daily activities.

Caregivers feel empowered whenever they are supported to help their children learn and grow. We believe that early intervention is key to identifying areas of deficits so that children can be equipped with the necessary skills to become better communicators. Our treatment models are designed to help children become more aware of their strengths and further utilize learned strategies to overcome barriers in their learning and communication.

Children are intrinsically motivated whenever they are praised for their successes. Therefore, we aspire to foster a positive learning environment where children are always celebrated for their progress. Fourth Enhanced STS philosophy revolves in the authenticity of a quote once written by Benjamin Franklin “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

“I always knew I wanted to work with children. While in elementary school, I used my Summers to teach preschoolers within the neighborhood to prepare for their entry to ‘big school’. One day I remember thinking, I wouldn’t mind becoming a teacher, but I would prefer to work with students in small groups. Well, my prayers were answered when I discovered my purpose as a school-based Speech Language Pathologist.”

While working as a school based SLP, Tamara had the opportunity to participate in a pilot program to implement curriculum based language therapy to a select number of students with language impairment in their respective classrooms. This treatment technique was effective as students demonstrated gains and were able to generalize their skills in different subject areas.

This opportunity allowed Tamara to develop expertise skills while examining the effectiveness of students receiving treatment in their natural learning environment. Tamara is passionate about eradicating the thoughts of “I’m not smart enough” and transforming it to “I can do anything I put my mind to”. Children learn best through intentional teaching and active involvement; so, it is important to ensure that they are able to participate in their learning to identify their strengths and master their goals for independence.

During her spare time, Tamara enjoys reading, trying out new recipes, traveling the world and spending time with her family.
