I’m Ariela Wlkins, M.S., CCC-SLP, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2022. I attended the University of Texas at Dallas for undergrad and earned my Master’s degree at the U.T. Health San Antonio. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in home health.

I love working with families to provide positive, fun and developmentally supportive interventions to help children function in their everyday lives.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, sewing, and trying new restaurants with family and friends.
