About Us
Rooted in Culture, Built for Community
At Habla Cadabra SLP, we’re two bilingual speech-language pathologists with a shared mission: to create culturally grounded, Spanish speech therapy materials that support real communication and connection. All of our resources are developed entirely in Spanish—not translated—making them ideal for children with speech disorders, developmental language disorder (DLD), articulation challenges, phonological processes, and apraxia of speech.
We design tools that reflect how Spanish-speaking children naturally talk, play, and grow—helping SLPs and educators deliver therapy that is both effective and culturally relevant.
