Biography

Kelsey Frazier is a speech-language pathologist working with children and their families at the Child Development and Rehabilitation Center (CDRC). She specializes in the evaluation and treatment of feeding and swallowing disorders, and cleft palate and craniofacial disorders. She performs individual and team evaluations and follow-up visits and also directs instrumental swallow studies in the Radiology Department.

Kelsey believes learning should be fun and uses each child’s specific interests and motivations to help them acquire functional and meaningful skills. She also believes therapy should be functional, and employs words, settings and situations that her patients are in on a day-to-day basis, so progress is made not just in the therapy room, but also at home and in the community. She strives to incorporate families into care, so they feel empowered to support their child’s development.

In her free time, she enjoys mountain biking, camping, running and exploring the Pacific Northwest.
