Amanda Mavrakos

MS, CCC-SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Background

I’m Amanda, a speech-language pathologist and owner of Salt & Light Speech-Language Resources in Vestavia Hills, AL. I specialize in speech & language therapy, orofacial myofunctional therapy, tethered oral tissues, and feeding related concerns — serving patients across the lifespan through both in-person and teletherapy sessions.
I believe the best outcomes happen when providers work together, and I love coordinating care with the dentists, physicians, and specialists already on your family’s team. If feeding, airway, or oral function are on your radar, I’m here to help connect the dots.
