About me.

I’m Laura Uhl, MA, CCC-SLP, founder of Smart Mouth Therapy. I’m a graduate of the University of Akron with a Master of Arts in Speech Language Pathology, a Bachelor of Science in Russian Translation from Kent State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Dayton. I also hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association and speech pathology licensure in the State of Ohio. I have extensive training and experience in speech pathology including pediatric feeding, speech sound disorders, and oral myofunctional disorders. In addition I have completed many hours of continuing education focusing on ankyloglossia, breathwork, craniosacral fascial therapy, and manual therapy.

Want to chat? Reach out! I enjoy collaborating and sharing with other speech-language pathologists, parents, and professionals. I served as a clinical supervisor in the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the University of Akron, and guest lectured on the topic of oral myofunctional disorders at the University of Akron, Cleveland State University, and Case Western Reserve University.
