Arbutus Speech Therapy is excited to welcome Karen Hoang to our team!
Karen received her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from University of British Columbia and her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Alberta. She is a registrant in good standing with the College of Speech and Hearing Health Professionals of British Columbia (CSHBC).
Karen has 7 years of experience working with families as a Behaviour Interventionist prior to becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist. This makes her an asset working with autistic children as well as those requiring extra support within their sessions.
With her extensive training in play-based therapy, Karen’s sessions are fun, engaging, and focus on language development within daily family routines.
Karen is also passionate about adult rehabilitation and has worked with adults with dysphagia, aphasia, dysarthria, and apraxia of speech. Karen has completed 10 hours of the Speak Out & Loud Crowd treatment protocol which is a proven speech rehabilitation program for people with Parkinson disease.
In her free time Karen enjoys cuddling with her rescue dogs, watering her many houseplants, trying new food, and doing art projects.
