Hello

I'm Jerri, a speech therapist

and an educator, who utilizes creative visual methods

to teach others.

Welcome to Maddox Speech! I am a graduate of Kansas State University with a Master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Over the last 25 years, I have had the opportunity to work in private practice, public school and private school setting. As a homeschool mom of three grown boys, I've also co-founded and served in a homeschool co-op. Having served in a variety of these different academic settings, one common theme has remained the same. Every child is a gift and uniquely created! Pooling from these academic experiences, I have developed a passion for helping children articulate clearly, understand verbal and written content, and express themselves to others. I firmly believe that communication is a powerful tool, granting us a view into what makes that individual unique. When words and visuals are paired together, meaningful connections are made!

HOW I GOT HERE

Pictures + Words = Meaning

As a recent graduate with only one year of working experience in 1997, we moved from Kansas to Texas. I applied for a job at a clinic in Texas and I was hired by two wonderful owners of the clinic. That hire was the beginning of a valuable learning journey on how to draw, write, and create vocabulary visuals to enhance semantic relationships. Today, every session is visually oriented with drawings paired with written summaries and visual vocabulary. There's a common saying that says "seeing is believing." It is my pleasure to teach others visually how to communicate what they believe.

let's create together
