Meet the Sunflower Speech Therapy team!
Darla T. Oringderff, MA, CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech Language Pathologist
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with experience working in schools, private practice, early intervention, hospitals, in-patient rehab and home-based programs. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Houston, where I also served as a graduate assistant and received the Outstanding Graduation Clinician award.
I founded Sunflower Speech Therapy to offer thoughtful care for children with speech and language disorders. By offering boutique level services, I am confident that I can bring the most recent evidence-based therapy using a tailored, individual approach to foster lasting success.
I believe in a community-based approach to therapy, with the most successful student's receiving support from parent and caregiver coaching. While I may be the expert on speech and language, parents are the experts on their child. I partner with my client’s family in order to make the most significant impact.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, partner dancing, and gardening. I am also a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
