Alex Koller is a speech pathologist and owner of Bumblebee Pediatrics.
Alex grew up in Pennsylvania. She received her undergraduate degree in Communications Sciences and Disorders from Penn State University and her masters in Speech Pathology from the University of Pittsburgh. She began her career by working as a graduate student clinician in numerous hospitals and in 2017 moved to the DMV and began work as a speech pathologist at St. Coletta of Greater Washington.
In January, Alex founded Bumblebee Pediatric Therapy a therapeutic practice based in the Washington D.C. area for children age 18 months to 18 years with communication challenges. Alex's experience from both a clinical and in-school setting has allowed her to craft her own "play-based" approach to Speech and Language Therapy:
"Play is the basis for all childhood development. Mr. Fred Rogers said, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood”. Therapy is most successful when delivered in a play-based naturalistic way.
