About Your Therapist
Fara Pletka, CCC-SLP
A Little About Me
I’m an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist specializing in bilingual language development and pediatric speech and language disorders. I have over 12 years of experience in schools and clinics, leading therapy teams and supporting children with communication challenges. I speak English, Farsi, Spanish, and Czech (emerging skills) and create therapy plans tailored to each child’s needs.
Why The Speech Boutique?
I’ve seen how insurance rules and school policies can limit therapy, leaving families feeling that their child’s needs aren’t fully met. That’s why I started The Speech Boutique—to provide flexible, meaningful therapy tailored to your child’s goals. With over 12 years of experience as a pediatric SLP, I focus on building trusting relationships and using fun, engaging strategies to help children make impactful progress.
