Michaela Zimmerman

(Outpatient Speech Therapist)

Growing up, I was fortunate to see the positive impact of speech therapy on two of my close family members, prompting me to pursue a career in helping others find their voice. I graduated with a Masters in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Kentucky in 2020. I have experience working in the public school system as well as outpatient pediatric setting. I am passionate about collaborating with caregivers and other therapists to help children reach their communication goals. I take special interest in early language development, neurodiversity, and augmentative and alternative communication. Whether it is hearing a child say their siblings name for the first time, helping a child with complex needs discover which communication modality works best for them, or seeing the pride on a child’s face when they produce a new speech sound, I love to celebrate the little victories that add up to achieving long term goals! When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews, playing with my dog, cheering on the Wildcats, and trying new local restaurants.
