ASHA-certified SLP in NJ & NY specializing in feeding, oral motor, voice, and Parkinson's speech therapy

Joan Ting, M.S., CCC-SLP is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in New Jersey and New York, and an ASHA-certified clinician. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Music from Calvin College and a Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Emerson College.

Joan's clinical background spans acute care, inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, private practice, school, and telehealth, with experience treating clients from infancy through late adulthood. Feeding and oral motor development have been a consistent thread throughout her career. She is trained in the SOS Approach to Feeding and has supported clients of all ages in building stronger oral motor skills and safer, more confident, and more functional eating habits. Her broader areas of expertise also include voice disorders, cognitive-communication disorders, aphasia, apraxia, fluency, articulation and language disorders, and accent modification, as well as functional and social communication for neurodivergent individuals. She is also certified in the SPEAK OUT! & LOUD Crowd® Therapy Program.

As a SPEAK OUT! provider, Joan is passionate about helping individuals with Parkinson's disease take an active, intentional approach to their speech and communication. She guides clients through the structured SPEAK OUT! protocol to strengthen speech clarity, vocal loudness, and cognitive engagement, encouraging clients to build confidence in their voice over time.

Whether working with a toddler learning to accept new textures or an adult navigating a cognitive-communication disorder, Joan brings warmth, clinical thoroughness, and a genuine passion for feeding, oral motor, and mealtime success. A trained musician, she also enjoys drawing on her background in voice and performance to make vocal exercises feel engaging and motivating.
