Founder & Owner

Jennifer Hurst M.S., CCC-SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

I founded Speech & Swallowing Specialists because I know that communication and swallowing are paramount factors in a person’s quality of life. I am passionate about providing the highest quality therapy to clients while working on goals that will have a direct impact on their daily life. With over 16 years of experience evaluating and treating dysphagia, apraxia, and voice disorders, I am well equipped to meet my clients where they are and guide them forward. 

“We tried so many different therapies and solutions with no success. Jen listened and never gave up. Most importantly, she never let us give up.”
