Samantha Newman, M.A., CCC-SLP, CBS
Founder, Speech Language Pathologist & Certified Breastfeeding Specialist
Samantha founded Shine Bright Speech Therapy, LLC because she saw the need for additional pediatric speech therapy services in our community that could accommodate families’ busy schedules + offer specialized services like myofunctional therapy and dyslexia—all without waitlists. She wanted the freedom to see the “whole child,” tackle potential root causes, and truly partner with families—because she knows how important it is to give caregivers the tools to help their children shine brightly! Also, Shine Bright Speech Therapy is proud to be a Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Provider!

Samantha earned her master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Kent State University. For several years, she worked at a private practice in Los Angeles where she treated a variety of clients and disorders. That was where Sam’s love of working with the pediatric population really grew! Her trainings related to dyslexia and reading include: EBLI (Evidence Based Literacy Instruction), Reading Simplified Academy, + Orton-Gillingham. Some of her other post-grad coursework includes: orofacial myofunctional therapy, TummyTime! Method, + PROMPT (Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets).
Outside of work, you will find her spending time with her family, dancing to music, baking too many desserts, or reading a good book.
