Hello! I am Allison Baird. I trained at University of North Dakota, graduated in 1979. I have extensive experience and education in stroke care, movement disorders like Parkinson Disease, and dementia. I describe myself as a "medical speech-language pathologist" and I embrace challenges.

In my early years I took a special interest in stuttering and children with severe disabilities. More recently I have focused my learning and treatment in the area of physical therapies which reduce body tension affecting voice and swallowing.

For the past 25 years I have worked almost exclusively with adults. I think of myself as a coach and I expect my clients to do well. I have partnered with several charitable organizations to raise funds for treatment.

I have published articles on treatment efficacy post stroke and in the area of stuttering. I have given numerous presentations on virtual care in the US, Canada and abroad.

I continue to enjoy my client care and would love to see you!

Hello! I am Sara Allen. I’ve been part of the Hello SpeechWorks team for several years, starting out as a rehabilitation assistant before moving into a more behind-the-scenes role.



You might not see me often, but I’m always working in the background to help keep things running smoothly!

Hi there! I’m Lindsay Waedt. I’ve been with Hello SpeechWorks since 2023, starting out in billing and quickly growing into a broader admin role. If you’ve called about scheduling or billing, chances are we’ve already chatted!

I work part-time, so the best time to reach me is Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays between 10:30 AM and 12:00 PM. I’m always happy to help you get what you need or point you in the right direction.
