North Star Speech and Language Pathology Center in Point Loma holds Apraxia Kids recognition for Advanced Training and Expertise in Childhood Apraxia of Speech, delivering neurodiversity-affirming therapy from its Kenyon Street clinic. The lead clinician holds a Doctorate in Speech-Language Pathology from Northwestern University and a master's from the University of Colorado Boulder, credentials that anchor a referral pipeline from peninsula pediatric providers including Alyssa Connolly, PA - Pediatrics. Founded in 2020, the practice specializes in childhood apraxia of speech, augmentative and alternative communication, autism spectrum support, early intervention, gestalt language processing, and selective mutism, with trilingual intake in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language plus Japanese-language sessions. Diagnostic evaluations for ADHD-related communication challenges coordinate with psychiatric prescribers on the peninsula such as Elevating Minds Psychiatry (ADHD Clinic) for integrated treatment planning. The center's most complex cases involve nonspeaking autistic children requiring simultaneous AAC device programming, gestalt-language-processing therapy, and multi-provider care coordination across speech, occupational therapy, and behavioral health teams.
