I'm Cristi, and I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Cristiana Racenet, and I am a toddler mom and a Speech Language Pathologist with over twelve years of experience working with children birth through school aged. I launched Birdsong Pediatric Speech Therapy, LLC because I believe every child deserves a communication partner who truly sees them. As a solo practitioner, I focus on building strong personal connections with families, and meeting every child where they are at. My approach is to make leaning new skills feel safe, fun, and motivating. I specialize in articulation/phonological disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and expressive/receptive language development. I hold a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology and a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from The American Speech and Hearing Association.
My Approach
Play-Based Learning
I use your child's natural interests as the foundation for learning. When therapy feels like fun, progress happens naturally and quickly.
Family-First Goals
You are the expert on your child. I partner with you to set meaningful goals that make daily life easier and communication more joyful for the whole family.
Natural Environments
By working in your home or community setting, I help them practice communication skills where they actually use them, leading to lasting carry-over.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
I honor each child's unique brain and communication style, fostering an environment where every individual way of connecting is celebrated and supported.
Strengths-Based Focus
I build on what your child already does well. By focusing on their existing skills, we can create a positive path toward new communication milestones.
Functional Communication
I focus on real-life skills that matter at home, school, and in the community, and honor every form of communication that your child chooses to use.
