Opal Collective is a consulting company founded by speech-language pathologists. We help
individuals, professionals, businesses, and organizations solve problems, improve programs,
streamline procedures, and develop practical solutions related to communication, speech,
language, learning, accessibility, and service delivery.
Whether you need help with one specific issue or an entire program, we can work with you
virtually or in person.
We don’t provide direct therapy services. Instead, we use our professional experience to
identify what’s not working, determine why, and help you make improvements that last.

Why Opal Collective?
We want to change that
We know how frustrating it can be when something isn’t working and no one has the time,
experience, or resources to figure out why.
We’ve also seen organizations spend money on training, technology, programs, and
materials that never get used effectively because people weren’t shown how to implement
them.
We don’t just hand you a list of recommendations. We help organize the process, develop
the tools, train the people involved, and work through the challenges of making changes.
Whether you’re a parent, professional, small business, or large organization, you can
bring us a problem. We’ll help you find a practical way forward.
Have a problem? We help you figure it out and fix it.
