Hey y’all! I am Amber McIlroy, M.A., CCC-SLP, the owner of Sweet Talking and a Speech-Language Pathologist. I have a passion for connecting with the children I help as well as their families and other important people in their lives. I treat every child I work with as though they were my own. Therapy sessions are filled with play, laughter, and connection, which all encourage more natural growth in their speech and language skills.
I have 15+ years of experience treating children in an array of settings including: private practice, traveling to homes/daycares/private schools, and school settings around the Houston area. I have a special place in my heart for children with Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia.
I received my Bachelor’s degree from Stephen F. Austin State University and my Master’s degree from the University of Houston. I am a board certified Speech-Language Pathologist and active in state and national professional organizations. I have received multiple ACE awards from ASHA for completing over 70 continuing education hours in one year. I have a passion for learning and continually improving my speech therapy skills.
I grew up in a small town in Northeast Houston, so I am full of Southern hospitality. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my beautiful family. We enjoy boat rides, playing escape rooms, and spending time together playing silly games.
I am honored to be part of Sweet Talking, a heart-felt evidence based practice. We are always striving to continually use the best and most innovative interventions, while connecting with the children we are blessed to help. We look forward to working with your family and can’t wait for you to see the Sweet Talking difference.
