Katrina Visco, M.S. CCC-SLP, TSSLD, CBC

Speech Therapist, TOTS Trained®, AEIOU Trained, Graduate of Feed The Peds®, Lactation Educator

I’m an airway-focused speech therapist, mother of 4, and the owner of Little Waves Pediatric Therapy & Wellness in Rockaway Park, NY. I take a whole-body, root-cause approach to help little ones thrive, because true growth and development happen when we look deeper than the surface-level symptoms.

I’m committed to hearing your concerns, validating your “parent intuition”, and walking alongside you through the therapy process. I believe parents should be empowered, supported, and equipped with the tools needed to be their children's best advocates throughout every developmental milestone.

At Little Waves, I’ll be there to navigate challenges and celebrate every small victory with you. We’ll work together to help your child breathe, eat, speak, and thrive!
