Meet Samantha
_edited.png){kind=small}
Hello! I am Samantha Incaprera, certified speech language pathologist and owner of SISPS. I graduated from SIU-C with my Bachelors in Communication Disorders and Sciences and my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I have chosen to start a private practice to help those in need of speech services. I have experience in various settings such as early intervention, hospitals, outpatient, and skilled nursing facilities. I have successfully treated people of all ages. As I have grown in my career, I’ve noticed how speech therapy can help improve people's lives after just a few sessions. I have created SISPS to continue to help the public and share the benefits of speech therapy. My dream is to one day be hippotherapy certified so that I can help children achieve communication goals through animal-assisted therapy!
