Biography

Deborah Rock specializes in working with children from infancy to 18 years of age who present with a variety of speech and language communication needs. She provides assessment and treatment to address these needs and enjoys working with these children and their families to establish an ongoing relationship and to assist each child in achieving their full potential. Ms. Rock chose speech-language pathology as her profession because of her desire to make a difference in the lives of people who are impacted by their communication difficulties.

Outside of work, Ms. Rock enjoys spending time with her family. Her hobbies include walking, quilting, hiking, gardening and photography. She is always ready to capture a moment through pictures, from family events to anything that catches her interest, such as a beautiful sunset or a packed box of jalapeño peppers at a vegetable stand.
