Danielle Broadway offers Speech-Language Therapy for all ages
Danielle Broadway- Hughes, SLP
As the owner of Texas Speech Pathology, being a speech pathologist is deeply personal to me. I grew up as a child who needed speech services, and the therapist who patiently worked with me changed the course of my life. She helped me find my voice—literally and emotionally—and that experience left a profound and lasting impact on who I became. Because of her, I learned the power of communication, confidence, and connection. Because of her, I chose this profession.Today, I bring that same compassion, understanding, and dedication to every child and family I serve. I know what it feels like to sit on the other side of the therapy table, and I carry that empathy into every session. Helping others find their voice isn’t just my career—it’s my calling.
Taylor Powers
SLP
Hi everyone! I’m Taylor and I’m from Alvarado, Tx where I live with my husband of 7 years and our daughter who is 1 year old! I graduated from East Texas Baptist University with undergrad & Texas Woman’s University with my masters degree in speech pathology. I love working with kids and building strong connections with them. A little something about me is that I love spending time with my friends and family and I enjoy playing tennis in my free time. I knew speech pathology was the career path for me when I saw how building strong connections correlated with my clients progress!
