Vivian Eller
M.S., SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist
Every child communicates in their own way.
My role is to meet your child where they are, celebrate their unique strengths, and guide them toward meaningful, authentic communication.
I became an SLP because I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. Watching a child light up when they realize “I can say that!” in their own way is the most rewarding part of my job.
Together, we’ll use play, connection, and evidence-based strategies to support your child’s growth while empowering you to feel confident in everyday moments at home.
About
Hello! My name is Vivian Eller. I’m a speech-language pathologist who helps young children discover the joy of communication—whether that means using words, gestures, AAC, or scripts from their favorite songs and shows.
I believe every child communicates with purpose, and it’s my privilege to help families understand and celebrate the many ways their child connects with the world.
I want families to walk away from therapy not just with new skills, but with a deeper sense of confidence, connection, and joy in their child’s communication journey.
My Professional Background
I earned my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from California State University, East Bay, and have experience supporting children across home, hospital, private clinic, and school settings.
My clinical interests include:
-
Early language development (Early Intervention)
-
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
-
Articulation disorder
-
Autism Spectrum Disorder
-
AAC and multimodal communication
-
Gestalt language processing (GLP)
-
Family coaching and collaboration
I’m committed to using evidence-based practices alongside real-life strategies that fit each family’s routines, values, and goals.
My Approach
My therapy style is play-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and family-centered.
This means I don’t “fix” communication—I support growth by meeting each child where they are, following their interests, and creating meaningful opportunities to connect.
In our sessions, you might see:
-
Joyful play and child-led exploration
-
Modeling of natural, functional communication
-
Gentle guidance for caregivers to use strategies at home
-
Respect for all forms of communication—spoken words, AAC, gestures, echolalia, and movement
I focus on connection before correction, because trust and regulation are the foundation of communication.
Service Options
-
Individual therapy sessions (in-home or telehealth, 30–45 minutes)
-
Speech and Language Evaluation, including AAC evaluation
-
Parent coaching sessions (virtual or in-person)
-
Consultations for schools, caregivers, and professionals
-
Collaboration with occupational therapists, teachers, and other providers
Culturally Responsive and Inclusive Practice
Every family’s language, culture, and values are respected and reflected in therapy. I work closely with caregivers to make sure goals feel meaningful, relevant, and aligned with your home life.
Communication grows best in environments where a child feels understood and valued for exactly who they are.
