Kimberly Binford Mannion

As Owner of TerrificTalkers, I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and a Master of Arts degree in speech-language pathology from Marshall University. I am licensed to practice in both North Carolina and California and hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence through the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association (ASHA). My career began serving communication disordered clients in 1987. I have worked in the public school setting for 9 years, and joined Catherine M. Leister and Associates (now TerrificTalkers) in 1991.

In 2010, I became the owner of TerrificTalkers with experience in working with preschoolers, school-aged children, adolescents, and adults. My experience covers a wide variety of communication areas, but special interests are phonological awareness, articulation, apraxia, auditory/language processing, and pervasive developmental disorder/autism. I work with various school systems providing speech and language therapy services at Charlotte Country Day School, The Fletcher School, Charlotte Latin School and St. Gabriel’s School in addition to seeing clients at this office. I also have shared the responsibility for designing and promoting the Chatterbugs language group, New Social Language Group, Summer Sound Camp and Leaping Listeners Camp for preschoolers at this practice.

In my leisure time, I enjoy traveling, ballroom dancing, community service and time spent with my new husband, family, friends and dogs, Romeo and Daisy.
