Avery Walker, M.S., CCC-SLP

Hello! I’m the owner and solo clinician at Carmel Language & Literacy. My mission is to provide high quality, gold-standard care to children with communication needs by instilling confidence, encouraging consistency, and helping kids find their own voices from within. I specialize in the overlap between written and spoken language, but my services include a variety of commonly treated areas.

I look forward to working with your family towards a common goal, whether that involves your child honing their /r/ sound, expanding their average expression length from two words to three, or reading their first short story!

  • Scheduling an appointment is easy! Just give me a call, shoot me an email, or fill out my contact form; all can be found at the bottom of this page. We’ll complete a free consultation call so I can best understand your child’s needs, followed by an intake evaluation.

  • Carmel Language & Literacy is currently a fully mobile clinic- I am happy to come to your home for services, or we can meet via teletherapy on Zoom for Healthcare.

  • I am in-network with Anthem BCBS; coverage varies depending on your plan.

    For private pay clients, evaluations typically cost around $400 depending on the type of testing. Speech-language therapy is $70 per 30-minute session.

  • If you have any concerns about your child’s ability to communicate through spoken or written language and they are between the ages of 3 and 99, then yes! I treat all clients based on their unique needs, and I’m happy to provide referrals for local providers in areas outside of my scope.

  • "Thank you, Avery, for your patience and all of the progress that my daughter has made."
