Denise Gage, CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert. AVT, is a certified speech-language pathologist and a certified auditory-verbal therapist. Her private practice was established in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 1986. She was one of the first group of certified auditory verbal therapists in 1994, providing her with 25 years experience training infants, children and adults with hearing impairments and cochlear implants.

Ms. Gage received her Bachelor of Science degree in speech and hearing science from Bradley University in Peoria Illinois. She earned her Master of Arts degree in speech language pathology at the University of Texas at Austin. During her graduate training she was fortunate to participate in a grant program that allowed her to gain additional training working with deaf and hard of hearing children.

Ms. Gage believes that a private practice setting best allows for family participation in the treatment process. It allows her the freedom to formulate appropriate treatment goals without restriction. Every patient is encouraged to have a family member sit in or observe sessions. Observing and/or participating in sessions is an invaluable tool for facilitating carry – over from the therapy session to real life settings.
