 Ciara Miller is a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 10 years of experience. Her educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Science and Disorders from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master’s degree in Speech and Hearing Science from Tennessee State University. She prides herself in taking a holistic approach to therapy addressing communication needs through a comprehensive approach that considers the child’s overall well-being. 

Ciara’s areas of expertise include high-tech AAC articulation, phonology, stuttering, and receptive, expressive and pragmatic language needs. She utilizes a "total communication" approach by accepting and using all forms of communication verbal and non-verbal (i.e., vocalizations, eye gaze, facial expressions, gestures, sign language and AAC) in order for the child to feel understood, even if they cannot use their voice to speak.  She has experience working with children and young adults 1-18 years of age.

Ciara’s therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices. She prioritizes creating a supportive and engaging environment that fosters growth and confidence. Collaborating with families and providing parent education are very important to her therapeutic approach. 

In Ciara’s free time, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband and three children, her friends, and taking care of the family dog and guinea pig. She also enjoys watching movies, learning Spanish, baking and gardening.
