Erin Gaul, SLP started her private practice about two years ago. She was originally headed in the direction of Audiology, but with the guidance of a professor she realized that Speech-Pathology was her passion. Today, Erin primarily serves clients with Apraxia and those who are hard of hearing. Her journey has been shaped by positive relationships with her clients, and her bravery to walk through open doors and make the most of every opportunity.
Here’s What We Cover:
- How she overcame the obstacles of a difficult work environment
- How her positive relationships with her clients impacted her decision to start her private practice
- The value of being open to opportunities and having the bravery to take the risk
- Her passion to specialize in therapy for the hard of hearing and clients with apraxia
- Her advice for those who are just beginning and continually growing their practice
