Sherri Drummond, MA CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist
Owner, Speech Therapy Tacoma

I am dedicated to helping people improve communication with their loved ones after a stroke, brain injury, or in the midst of a neurologic disease.

I am a speech-language pathologist with over 18 years of experience helping people improve communication skills after a stroke or living with a neurological disease. I have worked with patients in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, and home health care. I have advanced certification in a voice therapy program called SPEAK OUT®! for people with Parkinson's Disease. I have a special interest and expertise helping people with aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, and Parkinson's Disease.

I strongly endorse the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia in my therapy approach, which involves helping people with aphasia reconnect with their life by focusing on life goals of their choice. I also provide education and support to family members and caregivers so they can learn how to improve daily communication outside of therapy sessions.

My work as a Speech Pathologist is built on years of experience forming unique partnerships with my clients, their families, and wider support systems. My services are completely customized to your background and specific circumstances.

Many people living with communication challenges can continue to make progress if they have motivation, support, and dedication to doing the work and practicing skills outside of therapy sessions.

I create individualized treatment plans tailored to each person's unique needs and goals, and use specialized approaches and techniques for improving communication skills, with opportunities to practice and develop communication strategies in a supportive and warm environment.
