Catherine (Catie) Oehler

Catie loves her Badgers as she spent both her undergraduate and graduate degrees studying Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During therapy, she loves integrating silly play into all learning opportunities to help children enjoy themselves as they progress toward their goals. Her favorite therapy sessions include making up strange songs, dancing, and being active in the gym.  She believes that creativity in play within sessions helps to foster speech and language development. Catie is also trained in PROMPT therapy, which is a tactile-kinesthetic approach used to facilitate accurate production of speech sounds. She also has experience in feeding and has taken Melanie Potock’s course:Feeding Development: Understanding the Spectrum of Eating in Children. Catie loves working with the CI team as its positive strategies and environment allow children to grow to their maximum potential. She can’t wait to play with you!
