Meet the Owner

Annalise Wood, M.S. CCC-SLP

Hi! My name is Annalise Wood, Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and owner of Buttonwillow Speech. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and your family!

I graduated from Biola University with my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I am a certified member of American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed by the state of Texas. I have experience in many settings including schools, homes, private practice, and teletherapy. While I have had the privilege of working with a variety of clients, I specialize in pediatric (ages 3-18) evaluation and treatment of speech sound disorders, language delays/disorders, social communication, and stuttering. I am especially fond of working with neurodiverse individuals.

In my practice, I take a child-centered approach with a focus on connection. I strive to make each speech session effective, meaningful, and fun! I love to incorporate engaging toys, seasonal books, music, visual schedules, sensory bins, games, and crafts; all tailored to your child’s individual goals. I recognize that as a parent, you are the expert on your child and your involvement is key to their success. As a lifelong learner, I am dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest evidence based research to expand my knowledge and skills. I have completed the following continuing education certificate programs: The Inside Out Sensory Certificate Course by Jessie Ginsburg (which focuses on incorporating sensory regulation strategies to achieve the optimal learning zone), The It Takes Two to Talk program by Hanen (an early language development intervention that emphasizes parent training and the implementation of practical communication strategies in everyday routines), Training in Natural Language Acquisition by Meaningful Speech (which provides guidance on supporting spontaneous language in gestalt language processors through play-based, child-led therapy), and Myofunctional Therapy Training and Certification for SLPs by SimonSays (Introduction to Myofunctional Therapy, Assessment of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, Tongue Tips: A Myofunctional Program for 8+, Tiny Tongue Tips: An Early Intervention Myofunctional Program, and Thumbs Up: An Oral Habit Elimination Program).

In addition to my work as a speech therapist, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, exploring nature trails with my dog, making soup, and traveling.
