Michelle Naguit Hileman, MS, CCC-SLP
Michelle moved to the Napa Valley in 2003 and began her career in pediatric speech-language pathology with the Napa County Office of Education. She opened Napa Valley Speech Therapy, Inc. in 2008 after being inspired by the incredible need for private practitioners to support the development of children in the community. Her experience includes K-8 public school settings, home- and center-based early intervention services, and preschool inclusion sites. Michelle received a Bachelor of Science degree in General Biology from University of California, San Diego and a Master of Science degree in Communicative Disorders from San Francisco State University.
