Basha Ontiveros M.S., CCC-SLP Speech Pathologist Orofacial Myofunctional Specialist Provider of speech & orofacial myofunctional therapy

Hi, I’m Basha!

I am a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist providing Speech Therapy for children and adults in the Bloomington-Normal area since 2002. I graduated from Illinois State University with a Masters in Science.

I specialize in speech, swallowing disorders and oromyofunctional disorders including articulation, verbal apraxia, stuttering, myofunctional therapy for pre and post frenectomy, mouth breathing, tongue thrust, digit/thumb sucking, tongue tie, oral swallowing, and picky eating.

As an experienced private therapist my goal is to work with you or your child to establish meaningful goals and establish an effective treatment.

I continually strive to help provide evidence-based, high quality services that are tailored to meet your or your child’s specific needs. Providing cutting edge therapy through continued training and education is always a top priority.

Hello, I’m Audrey Rawlins!

I have been a Speech Language – Pathologist since 2008 and have worked in a variety of settings over the last 14 years in this amazing field! I graduated from Western Illinois University with a masters degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) and am accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). I began my career working in the public school system with early childhood through middle school age children. During that time I gained experiences working with diverse populations, providing services for children with autism, developmental delays, emotional disabilities, and a variety of speech and language needs.

I am particularly interested in treating articulation and phonological disorders, expressive and receptive language delays, pragmatic language disorders to school aged children. After moving to Bloomington in 2016, I shifted my focus to in-home, early intervention with children ages birth to three years old.

Here at B-N Speech Therapy, my hope is to provide the best evidence-based therapy to support the needs of individuals and families in a warm and genuine way.

Outside of the office, I have four, fun and beautiful girls and an incredible husband that take up most of my time with homeschooling and family adventures.
