About me

Hello everyone! My name is Kari Marugg and I am a pediatric speech pathologist in Newberg OR. I graduated in 2017 from Pacific University and have since worked in a variety of settings including skilled nursing facilities, elementary and secondary schools, and now private practice. While working in pediatric private practice, I have especially enjoyed connecting closely with families to foster their child’s communication skills in various ways and empowering them how to do so along the way. Collaboration fosters communication and connection!
Therefore, I wanted to extend that reach to a bigger community! Here, I want to share tips, support, and education about how parents can engage with purpose while reading, playing, and exploring with their child!
So, welcome to Little Speech Life! I hope this information is helpful and a place where you can come for ways to support your child’s communication in various ways!
