My name is Cristina Garza, and I am a licensed ASHA-certified, bilingual speech-language pathologist. For the past four years, I have worked in a school setting, primarily with Pre-K and Kindergarten students. During this time, I noticed a significant increase in the number of children requiring speech therapy services—80% of newly enrolled students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP) were in need of speech therapy.
This growing demand made me realize that there was more I wanted to do. I wanted to find a way to provide education and resources to parents, focusing on preventative measures to support children’s speech and language development. But how could I reach parents effectively?
As a mother of two beautiful girls, I’ve always loved visiting indoor play spaces. They’re not just places for fun—they’re opportunities for learning, connection, and growth. This inspired me to create my own space, where I could combine my passion for speech therapy with a love for play. Here, I aim to offer resources to parents and the community while creating a language-rich environment where children can thrive.
Join us in building a community that supports every child’s unique journey, providing them with the tools they need to communicate confidently and joyfully.
About Core Board
This 36 symbol icon core board is based on Early Spanish Vocabulary for Children who use AAC (Soto & Cooper, 2021) and Project Core (Geist, Erickson, & Hatch, 2015). Bilingue AAC identified overlapping words between the two sources as well as added frequently used words for daily life such as, eat, drink, yes, no.
