Brent Neal

Speech Language Pathology Assistant

SLPA

Basic Info: I am a representation of the increasingly rare native of Phoenix, AZ! I am actually a 3rd generation Arizonan! I received my bachelor’s degree from Northern Arizona University in Speech-Language Science and Technology in 2014. I have been working with kids for 10 years in schools, pediatric therapy clinics, as well as home healthcare services. I was first introduced to speech therapy while working in the schools and came to look forward to our weekly visits from the school speech therapist. The kids always had a blast while simultaneously improving their speech and language skills which are so important to everyday life!

Interests and Hobbies: The most important part of my life is my family. I have an amazing wife and two wonderful boys who I love to spend time with. I am also an avid fan of music and appreciate the good old days of classic rock!

Favorite Quote: “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” – John Lennon

Favorite Place to Travel: Kauai, Hawaii – I haven’t found a more perfect destination!

What I love about working with kids: Witnessing the excitement and pride in their eyes and the eyes of their loved ones as they reach a goal that they all have worked so hard to achieve.
