Speech is Beautiful

My Story

You’ve probably never met a “Sarah” quite like me. Not only do I have a Chinese last name (Wu), but I’m a bilingual speech-language pathologist who speaks fluent Spanish. Let me throw you another curve ball: I’m a dual citizen! I was born in Australia.

Currently, I live in the suburbs of Chicago.Don’t even get me started on school lunch – I blogged a year about school lunch and wrote a book about school lunch reform: Fed Up With Lunch. I am starting my fifteenth year as a SLP. I’m older than the average speech path with more than ten years of experience because before I became an SLP, I worked for Kraft Foods. Yep, I was working in a cubicle before I had the revelation that, hey, I need to get out of that job and make a difference in a world beyond EasyMac.

But I’m so grateful to have had that business experience as I opened up my store “Sarah Wu” TeachersPayTeachers back in 2014. My undergrad (from UW-Madison — Go Badgers!) is in Spanish and Business. When you combine it with my masters in Speech-Language Pathology (from Northwestern University here in Illinois), I feel kinda perfect for being an bilingual-SLP-entrepreneur! I’m currently taking courses in ESL and Bilingual education towards my Educational Specialist (EdS) in curriculum and instruction at National Louis University (exp 2022).

Personal stuff: I married my husband in 2003 (!) and we have two little boys (ages 13 and 9). I love to ride my bright yellow mountain bike. It’s tough being a working mom, but it doesn’t stop me from living my life to the fullest!

Feel free to peruse my website, but if you’d like to borrow something please ask first. You can review my Terms of Use while you wait for me to email you back! 😉 Email me: Sarah(AT)speechisbeautiful(DOT)com. I’d love to chat with you! 🙂

  • Working in schools as a speech pathologist for more than seven years, I have treated a lot of kids. One of my duties is to decide whether or not speech services continue to offer an educational benefit for students. I have found that most parents want their children to continue in speech therapy even after the recommendation for dismissal. It’s okay to disagree.
