Transforming Communication With Expert Speech & Language Therapy
About Us
Our team at Sunray Therapy Group is dedicated to helping clients overcome speech and communication delays or disorders. We use a unique approach that starts by offering comprehensive assessments and evaluation reports to identify areas of speech, language, and social communication needs. We also provide services to different communication domains, including articulations, stuttering, language delay, social communication with autism, and AAC devices for apraxia, aphasia, and non-verbal clients. Supporting parents and caregivers is a desired concern that we give attention to and dedication to. Our therapy utilizes evidence-based practices (EBP, ASHA reaches, and the ASHA code of ethics principles.

What do speech therapists at Sunray Therapy group do?
Our speech therapists work with different populations to diagnose and treat communication and speech disorders. We also conduct assessments to determine if the patient needs speech therapy services. If the client’s screening is positive for services, then we conduct formal and/or informal evaluations to decide what types of therapy they need and come up with goals and therapy plans for the patient.

Sohad holds a bachelor’s in communication disorders from CSUN and pursued further education while raising twins diagnosed with communication delays. She earned an SLPA license from Loma Linda University in 2013 and later became a BCBA Candidate, driven by her work with children with autism. Sohad’s commitment to education led her to obtain a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of St. Augustine, and ASHA accredits her. She supports clients with diverse communication needs, including autism, articulation, language delay, stuttering, social skills, AAC devices, and non-verbal communication.
Resources
Created by an SLP who is a mom to support parents and SLPs. The site features free worksheets and a blog with practical advice on teaching children specific language and social skills.
Here speech therapists can purchase SLP teaching and therapy materials directly from the teachers who created them—or find free resources. Search for specialized lessons from this vast platform.
It is a subscription-based site that distills research from top speech-language pathology journals into plain-language reviews of articles that are relevant to clinical practice. These reviews are available on the web, print, and audio formats, so speech therapists can spend less time reading and more time treating.
