Meet the Owner

Amanda Bhanote is a state licensed, ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist. An Orlando native, Amanda attended the University of Central Florida for both her undergraduate and graduate programs. She was awarded her Bachelor of Arts degree (2016) and Master of Arts degree (2018) in Communication Sciences and Disorders. She is also fluent in American Sign Language.

Amanda began her clinical work in Spring of 2016 at the University of Central Florida Communication Sciences and Disorders Clinic. She had the opportunity to serve clients at the Aphasia House, as well as their FAAST (Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology) Center. Amanda expanded upon her clinical skills as an intern at John Knox Village of Central Florida, where she gained experience with the geriatric population in the areas of swallowing, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.

Her current love interest has been in the nonverbal augmentative and alternative communication side of things. She believes there is no greater feeling than watching a child’s face light up when they realize they finally have a way to communicate.

Our Process

Click on each tab to learn more about each service. The types of evaluations we offer are listed below with their detailed elements.

  • The first step is completing the initial paperwork. This includes your child’s medical history; this is one of the most important sections to fill out thoroughly

  • This step involves administering a standardized assessment to obtain a baseline of current skills. This will take approximately 30 minutes.

  • The BEST part is weekly sessions! The first 4 sessions are reserved for establishing the 3 R’s: rapport, routine, and rules. Once we know each other, therapy sessions range in variety and structure, tailored to your child’s preferences.

  • We encourage parents to regularly communicate with their child’s SLP about their progress, goals, home carryover activities, and educational handouts.
