Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc

Writing is a solitary affair, and that's something I enjoy most of the time. Of course, I equally enjoy the company of my young and older students.

I started working as a speech therapist in 2000. Thirteen years later, I wrote the first book. I wanted to share the knowledge and personal experience I have gained over the years. I have not stopped writing since then, and at the same time, I continue to practice my profession. One complements the other. The children show me the way, and I join them in easy and challenging paths.
