I’m Lupe Chavarria, M.S., SLP-CF and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2021 as a bilingual speech-language pathologist intern under the supervision of Alexandra Torget, M.Ed., CCC-SLP. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center and my Master’s degree from the University of North Texas. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in pediatric hospital, acute hospital and bilingual preschool settings.

I believe therapy should be fun, make the child feel comfortable and be specific to their needs. It is important to me to implement a family-centered approach and to work with the parents to create long-lasting success.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family and my Chow-Chow dog, reading books, and traveling.

As an SLP with almost 1 year of experience, I have training and specialization in the following:

• Sound Card System
• Sensory-Motor Feeding by Lori Overland, M.S., CCC-SLP
• Simon Says: Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)
• Tips to Tackle Drooling by Lori Overland, M.S., CCC-SLP
