Pediatric Outpatient Therapies

Natalie Klain is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with a decade of experience helping young children find their voices. She holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire and the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, respectively. Natalie is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed to practice in the state of Wisconsin. For the past two years, she has been a dedicated member of the team at SFCC, bringing her warmth, expertise, and enthusiasm to the families she serves.

Natalie has worked extensively with children aged 12 months to 5 years, providing therapy in homes, daycares, and clinic settings throughout Milwaukee County. Her experience spans a wide range of developmental and communication challenges, including receptive and expressive language disorders, phonological and articulation disorders, cognitive impairments, autism spectrum disorder, and Down syndrome. She is also expanding her expertise in feeding and swallowing disorders. Natalie is deeply passionate about helping children communicate more effectively with their caregivers. As she says, “It is so rewarding to see the smiles on the child and caregiver’s face when they can understand one another!”

Originally from Milwaukee, Natalie lives in the city with her husband and their young son. When she’s not supporting families through speech therapy, she enjoys reading, traveling, and discovering new spots around town — from local parks and the lakefront to Milwaukee’s vibrant restaurants and breweries. Her compassionate approach and deep-rooted connection to the community make her a valued resource for families at SFCC.
