Jami Genson

Background

Jami received her undergraduate degree in linguistics from Duke University and her graduate degree in speech-language pathology from CUNY Queens College. She has served individuals of all ages in schools, daycares, homes, and private practice.
​
Jami began her private practice in 2008 as a solution to the growing need for high-quality, convenient, and family-centered therapy in her community. As a mom and as a therapist with over 2 decades of experience, she understands how busy life is and how important it is to families to have a trusted resource to guide them through their child’s development.
​
Jami founded The Speech Spot of South Florida in 2020. She provides direct therapy as well as manages a team of dedicated therapists who help her reach more families throughout Florida. Jami’s approach to therapy combines research-based methods with engaging and creative activities to keep her clients motivated and having fun! For the past several years, Jami has honed her skills in her specialty areas of tethered oral tissues (tongue, lip, and buccal ties), orofacial myology, and feeding (from birth through adulthood). She completes well over the required hours of continuing education (including classes through the IAOM – International Association of Orofacial Myology), for which she has received the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s (ASHA) Award for Continuing Education (ACE Award) multiple times.
​
When Jami isn’t focused on serving her clients, she enjoys playing tennis, cooking, and spending time with her two daughters, husband, and their dog, Remi.
