Anne Russell Bramlett
MS, CCC/SLP

I have experience with a broad range of language processing and production disorders. Many of the challenges some clients have are associated with sensory processing differences. I have a unique perspective in that I have a child with autism. Trying to provide my son, Sam, with be the best possible support and education lead me first into self-education and advocacy, and then to graduate school. Having been Sam’s mother for over 20 years has been my best education. I have learned patience, acceptance, the ability to wait, and how to watch for cues (yes, we not only give cues, we get them). I know the daily questions and challenges that a family lives with when they have a child with unique learning, communication and/or behavior challenges. The many workshops and conferences that I have helped organize and attended have also added greatly to my store of knowledge. I also received an excellent education at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders that helped pull together my experiences with interests in neurology, sensory integration, and auditory processing.

I enjoy working with a variety of speech and language disorders, from articulation to oral motor, to expressive and receptive language challenges. Many of the children I work with have characteristics or labels of autism, Asperger’s or Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). I also work with more typical expressive and receptive language challenges as well as oral motor impairment and phonological/articulation disorders.

My associates have backgrounds in expressive and receptive language disorders, phonological and articulation disorders, fluency disorders and phonemic awareness training.
