TAYLOR SPEECH & LANGUAGE
 Corporate Speech Pathology 

My name is Reid Taylor, and I have been a speech-language pathologist since 1977.  Awarded the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), I have had a great deal of experience working with children and adults presenting with clinical disorders of speech and language.

​

After I completed my speech-language therapy training, I immediately began working in a school for children with disabilities.  I later began teaching university courses in special education, with my specialty being pediatric communication disorders.

​

In the 1980s, I developed a keen interest in working with professionals who need intense coaching to help them improved their American English pronunciation skills.  I received specialized training in accent modification from some of the best practitioners of accent modification, and I continue to expand my knowledge base in this exciting and rewarding area of communication development.  Although I continue working within the university setting as an associate professor, I simultaneously developed the necessary skills for working as a Corporate Speech Pathologist, with an emphasis on accent modification.  Even today, as I continue to work with teachers who have young students with speech and language impairments in their classrooms, I use my private practice (Taylor Speech & Language) to offer accent modification coaching to busy professionals within the medical, educational, technical, math and science disciplines.  I love helping adults modify their foreign/regional accents so they can speak with a more American English style.
