Clear Speech Team
Clear Speech and Language was established in 2016 by speech and language therapists Heather Elam and Vanessa Cisneros. While working together in Orange County, they discovered they had the same passion, drive, and skills to provide children and adults with excellent speech and language services. Seeking to give the community unparalleled services that could not be found elsewhere, Clear Speech and Language was born. At Clear Speech and Language, the client’s quality of life takes priority. Whether you or a loved one have a speech, language, voice, or fluency disorder, we have the skills and more than 10 years combined experience to help you communicate the best you can and increase your levels of independence and confidence.
