Jacqueline Tovar
Speech Therapy

Welcome

Jacqueline Tovar Speech Therapy is a small privately-owned pediatric speech and language therapy practice. I serve children and their families  in-person in the city of Burlingame and surrounding areas in San Mateo County. I provide bilingual Spanish-English services in the convenience of your home, as well as virtual services through teletherapy for clients residing anywhere else in CA. My top priority is to arm your child with the confidence to speak clearly, be understood and express their thoughts and ideas.

About Me

in-home speech therapy

As a licensed and ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist, I have dedicated my career to helping children thrive in their communication skills. I earned my B.A. and M.A. in Communicative Disorders from California State University, Fullerton, and have been practicing since 2013.

With a focus on the pediatric population aged 2-12, I have worked primarily in educational settings, supporting students with a wide range of needs, including autism, speech sound disorders, developmental language disorders, visual impairments, and stuttering. I particularly enjoy working with young children in their early school years (ages 2-5), as this is a crucial period of rapid language development. My approach is creative and playful, allowing me to engage children in meaningful ways while facilitating their speech and language growth.

I find it essential to work within the child’s familial environment, creating therapeutic opportunities that are practical and meaningful for the child in their immediate surroundings. This holistic approach not only fosters effective communication but also strengthens the connection between therapy and everyday life.

My primary objective is to empower my clients and their families to achieve their communication goals, equipping them with essential life skills for success.

 

Outside of my professional life, I cherish time with my husband, our two young sons, and our two dogs. As an avid runner, I aim to complete a marathon each year, and I love backpacking with my husband. I look forward to sharing these adventures with my sons as they grow.
