I’m Alicia Hooker, M.A., CCC-SLP and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2018 as a speech pathology graduate from the University of Kansas. I am one of the Assistant Clinical Directors in Hurst.

I enjoy providing children with the tools they need to be successful with communication and feeding in order to improve their overall quality of life.  Therapy should be fun, engaging, and focused on making functional change in the child’s life.

In my free time I enjoy traveling, going to the movies, watching Baylor football and KU basketball, and spending time with my family, friends, and dog.
