What's in a name?

DDV Speech stands for Daily Dog Vibes Speech. Yep, that's right! Dogs embody all the things I want to remember: be present, be loyal, be intentional, and love fully.

Dogs know how to live in the moment and just vibe. That's what DDV Speech is all about...supporting and sustaining your peace of mind on your journey as a middle school speech therapist!
