Jessica Jamicich, Speech-Language Pathologist, earned her Masters of Science in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences from Purdue University. She gained valuable experience during the summer of 2007 when she volunteered at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago. This is also where she continued her education with a medical externship in 2011 where she assisted with inpatient placement, NICU feeding and swallowing practices, videofluoroscopic swallow studies, and interpreted fiber optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing exams. There, she also helped to assess and treat pediatric tracheotomy patients in feeding, swallowing and communication skills. After graduation, Jessica began full-time employment at Beth Osten & Associates, where she worked on the evaluation and treatment of a diverse pediatric client population ranging from 2 to 10 years of age. Some of the treatment areas she worked on included receptive and expressive language, language processing, pragmatics, articulation, apraxia and fluency. She also collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to support families and establish effective and functional treatment plans for a variety of clients. Recently, Jessica participated in in DIR®/Floortime™ training and earned the Illinois Early Intervention Licensed Speech-Language Pathology Credential. Working with children has truly given Jessica great pleasure, especially when she sees patient’s success through treatment.
