Kimberly Eloise V. Loyola, RSLP

Kimberly Eloise V. Loyola, a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist who graduated in June 2025 and successfully passed the Speech-Language Pathology Board Examination in November 2025. Throughout her internship, she was immersed in diverse clinical experiences, working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disability, Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other developmental conditions. These experiences not only allowed her to use evidence-based practices but also to understand the child’s individual strengths, communication style, and potential. Moreover, I attended a workshop seminar regarding sensory processing and executive function to better understand how sensory regulation impacts a child’s readiness to communicate and how executive function supports the planning and execution of language.

She currently practices at Helping Hands Therapy Center and Kaleidoscope Therapy Center, where she provides assessment and intervention services tailored to each child and their family. Every session reinforces her belief that communication is a powerful tool and that every child deserves the chance to express themselves, connect with others, and be understood. She is dedicated to providing compassionate, collaborative, and family-centered care that empowers children to reach their fullest potential.
