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.
