Hi! I'm Allison Fischer, owner and lead therapist at Fischer Speech Therapy Solutions. I have been practicing in the field of pediatric speech and language therapy for more than 18 years. I received my Master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of South Florida in 2008. I have worked with children across many different settings including private clinics, home health visits, school-based therapy, and more. I spent 5 years in a public school setting as well. It is my passion to offer practical and functional solutions to all children's speech and language needs.
I live in Old Hickory with my husband, Casey, and our two children, Aubrey (13) and Tyler (9). On the weekends, you can usually find us on our boat or near water. I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, FL and we came to Nashville in 2015. We love Nashville and having seasons, but I will always be a beach girl at heart!
