Esther Skibell Levine, M.A., C.C.C., a licensed speech-language pathologist began her career in 1970. She initially worked in Spring Branch ISD and was selected to work with several different programs addressing the special needs of children with more involved speech and language issues. During her last three years with the school district, Ms. Levine provided speech and language therapy to children in the early childhood program. That experience influenced Ms. Levine to open her private practice in 1980, providing in-depth speech-language evaluations and therapy, with a focus on early intervention for children with speech and language issues. In July of 2019, Ms. Levine stepped back from active participation in the daily running of her practice and began her formal association with *TheLearning Sphere* speech-language pathologists, Tasneem Kajani and Vanessa Zimmer-Powell, who will assume many of the responsibilities of her private practice. Ms. Levine is excited about this association, knowing that
clients, present and future, are in excellent hands.
