Amy Lerman

Amy, MA, CCC-SLP, is a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and Community Outreach professional at The Parish School (TPS). She holds a BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in Speech-Language Pathology from George Washington University. Amy came to The Parish School in 2010, when she started as a lead SLP in the early childhood classrooms. Before joining the Parish team, she spent seven years working for Plano ISD and three years in private practice in San Antonio doing “push-in” therapy and social learning groups for children ages 4–9 years old. During this time, Amy was the recipient of grant monies toward the development of Core Language Kits for the three early childhood schools in Plano ISD, and toward supporting families with children enrolled in speech/language, occupational, and behavioral therapy in San Antonio. Through her role at TPS, Amy is a "connector" and feels privileged to play a small part in connecting with the adults in the community who raise, teach, and care for children. In her outreach efforts, Amy works hard to provide practical, evidence-based adult education opportunities for educators, heads of schools, parents/caregivers, clinicians, coaches, librarians, camp counselors, and other vital players in the community. Amy serves on the Texas Speech and Hearing Association Webinar Committee, is a part of the American Speech and Hearing Association Leadership Development Program 2022 Cohort, and serves on the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston’s Service for Students with Disabilities Task Force. Amy is married to a lawyer-turned-pediatrician, Marshall Lerman, and is the mother of two dynamic girls, Lyla and Sunny. In her spare time, she enjoys practicing yoga, being outdoors, and attending events in the community. Amy was The Parish School’s “Therapist of the Year” in 2020.
