About

Hi! I’m Stephanie!

My name is Stephanie Ferragine, M.S. CCC-SLP, and I am the owner of Little Minds Speech Therapy, LLC. I am a licensed and board-certified speech language pathologist with over 10 years of experience in a variety of settings, including early intervention (birth-3), elementary, middle, and high schools, and rehabilitation/long term care facilities. My specialty areas include early expressive and receptive language development, play skills and early intervention, articulation and phonological disorders, reading/phonological awareness disorders, and feeding and swallowing difficulties.

I graduated with honors from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with my undergraduate and master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in Speech Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (#12144138). I am also licensed by the West Virginia Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology Board (SLP-1427). I continue to expand my knowledge by completing numerous continuing education courses in my specialty areas. I have completed training in reading and writing instruction through the Ascend Smarter Intervention Program which is a comprehensive structured approach to research-based literacy instruction.

Children learn best when they are having fun and interested in what they are doing. That is why I focus on child-led therapy that allows the child to enjoy what we do while working hard and staying motivated. We do all things play – build, sing, pretend, create and more! I am passionate about helping all children find their voice!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Brian, two children, Dominic and Bria, and our dog, Bentley. We enjoy spending time outdoors, going on family outings, and visiting with friends and family.

Hi! I’m Isabel!

My name is Isabel Iwanonkiw and I am so excited to join the Little Minds team!!! I have experience working with both the adult and pediatric population. I enjoyed my time with adults in an inpatient setting as well as children in school and outpatient setting. After experiencing many areas of the field, it is clear to me that the younger population is where my passion lies. I hope to give every child the tools to communicate however that may look for them.

My areas of speciality include articulation, developmental language disorders, and expressive and receptive language development. I am looking forward to getting to know not only my clients but their families as well to ensure a comprehensive plan for communication that carries beyond the therapy room.

I’m originally from Pittsburgh, PA but have spent my last 6 years in Morgantown! Don’t worry I am not a fan of Pitt! I received my bachelors and masters degree from West Virginia University.

In my free time I enjoy going on walks, reading a good book, and working out! I also love Disney and Harry Potter.
