I’m Randi Thomas M.S., CCC-SLP. I joined Monkey Mouths in 2007, and I am Clinical Director of the Southlake clinic.  I completed my undergraduate degree in communication disorders at Harding University and my master’s degree in communication disorders at the University of Texas at Dallas.  I began my career at Cook Children’s Medical Center, where I completed my Clinical Fellowship Year under the supervision of Erin Bernett, M.S., CCC-SLP.

 

My definition of successful treatment is to have the parents involved in therapy so that they feel empowered to work with their child in the home on a regular basis. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband, Brandon, and our two children.
