Nicole Sizler MA, CCC/SLP

Buckeye Speech Path was established in 2022 out of a desire to provide community-based speech therapy services and help eliminate long waiting lists for both pediatric and adult clients. After working for major corporate hospital systems, it became part of our mission to provide the care that each client truly needs, getting to know our clients on an individual level and making sure that evidence-based practices are being implemented. Our company motto is "Expertise. Compassion. Holistic Care." We only accept client cases we are confident in treating. We always provide compassionate care, and we treat the whole person by addressing all areas that are impacting communication success, not just one. This is one of the many benefits of working with a small private practice. Find out more about our speech therapy services here.

It was important to us that we practice where we live, which happens to be in an easy to access location from the greater Cleveland area. As the owner and lead SLP, it has taken some time to find our niche and make sure we are offering services for underserved populations. Due to this, a special interest and focus was taken on training to serve the population of people who stutter. We have training in Avoidance Reduction Therapy (ARTS) and hope to offer group therapy and support groups with the National Stuttering Assocation (keep checking back for more information). We continue to be confident providers in childhood language delay, speech sound and motor speech disorders, along with those affected by neurological impairment. We also have knowledge of working with neuro-divergent adolescents and young adults who need to improve their executive functioning abilities and social pragmatic skills. Our team also has extensive experience in working with clients and athletes who suffer from vocal cord dysfunction and concussion. Our traditional speech therapy services can be provided in the office or via tele-health (pending the payor).

In addition, providing cognitive wellness classes to promote the importance of brain health has been a dream for some time. We have a goal to become the leader in providing PREVENTATIVE services to help promote self-care and maintain healthy cognitive functioning. 1:1 classes are provided, focusing on techniques to identify the problem and promote solutions and compensatory techniques to help simplify or improve your life. See more about our Brain health classes here. We also have several community-based initiatives in place to promote the importance of concussion management and treatment of athletes affected by this condition.

Last but not least, we are thrilled to have just launched our general communication classes for adolescent and teens. See more about our classes here. Part of our mission is to help others achieve their best communication style. We believe that communication is a basic human right, and we want to help others maximize their success in this area. Between the constant changes in technology that promote the over use of phones and social media to communicate, we find that young people are lacking skills and confidence in face to face exchanges. Also, many of these young people struggle to communicate in the classroom with verbal interactions or presentations, and they need more opportunities for practice. These classes are not a part of traditional speech therapy, although they are taught by one of our corporate speech trainers. The goal is to interact with peers who have varied levels of ability so that you become a confident communicator as you develop into a young adult. Our corporate speech trainers also offer more comprehensive training for the development of young professionals to promote strong communication abilities in the college setting, along with confidence in displaying your executive presence in the corporate workplace. Specialty seminars will also be offered as topics are requested and developed.
