Mr. Roland & The 5678 Journey
In 2008, I was a dance instructor and a casual conversation with a dance student of mine—who happened to be a professor in Communication Sciences—led me to a speech therapy session that changed everything. I was instantly captivated by the field of speech-language pathology and knew I had to combine this passion with my love for dance. After years of dreaming and planning, 5678 Communicate came to life in July 2020. This isn't just a practice—it's a dynamic space where families can grow, learn, and thrive together.
I’m thrilled to welcome you to this journey!
