Hello CTW Families! Over the last 3.5 weeks, I have had the chance to meet many of the parents and children of Children's Therapy Works. For those of you who I haven't yet met, I look forward to meeting you! I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me. :) My name is Alyssa Siegel and I am the newest addition to the CTW Speech-Language Pathology team. I just moved to Atlanta about a month ago and I'm really looking forward to working with you and your family!
I was raised about 5 hours south of here in Jacksonville, FL. After high school, I moved to Gainesville, FL where I attended the University of Florida for my Bachelors degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and minor in Education. I've gotten a lot of slack about being a Gator here in Bulldog Country, but I'm a Gator Girl and proud of it! I bleed Orange and Blue. :)
After graduation from UF, I moved up to New York City to earn my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology from New York University. I completed my field work experiences in a Huntington's Disease unit, in an early intervention center, and in an outpatient rehabilitation facility. Since my graduation from NYU, I worked in Brooklyn for the NYC Dept of Education primarily with children with Asperger's Disorder, High Functioning Autism, Social-Relational Disorders, Auditory Processing Disorders, and Expressive/Receptive Language Disorders.
When I'm not working, I can usually be found hanging out with friends, lounging on the couch with my husband Matthew and our TiVo, or exploring my new city of Atlanta. I absolutely LOVED living in New York and taking in everything the city had to offer... especially Broadway shows, Yankee games, comedy clubs, and the SHOPPING! I'm definitely looking forward to finding my niche here in Atlanta.
I'm excited to start my next chapter here at CTW with you and your children. Thank you so much for the warm welcome and I'm looking forward to help "light the way to better futures!"
Alyssa Siegel, MA, CCC-SLP
