Hi! I'm Nicci Littler, and I have 25+ years experience working in the public schools as a Speech Language Pathologist & Preschool Teacher. I grew up in Jay County, IN and earned my Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology from Ball State University. I am an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Certified Clinician (CCC-SLP).
I am a mom of two amazing young adults (Joseph & Hannah) and an amazing teenager (Ella). They are my pride & joy and greatest blessings!
I enjoy working with children of all ages and ability levels and love helping to give them freedom to communicate their wants and needs.
