Meet Jordan
Jordan Bills, MA, CCC-SLP, TSSLD is a New York State licensed and nationally certified speech-language pathologist on the Upper West Side. She holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) and New York State TSSLD license (Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities). She also maintains licensure in Washington state, where she originally founded her private practice. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia and her master's degree from the George Washington University.
Jordan has extensive experience supporting children of all ages with speech, language, and feeding difficulties in both the U.S. and U.K. She has worked for private practices in the Washington, DC area and in London, England, providing assessment and treatment for children in clinic, home, and school-based settings. Jordan’s diverse experience has given her a strong skillset to treat a wide range of pediatric clients including those with autism spectrum disorders, fluency disorders (stuttering), receptive and expressive language disorders, speech sound disorders, social communication disorders, genetic disorders (Angelman syndrome, Down syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, etc.) and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Jordan has a special interest in treating children with language delays (“late talkers”), speech sound disorders (articulation and phonological disorders), Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and pediatric feeding disorders.
Jordan believes children make the most progress when they are engaged and having fun! She prides herself on providing the best evidenced-based treatment methods while tailoring therapy sessions to the unique needs and interests of each child. Jordan spends time developing rapport with her clients as she understands a trusting relationship is the foundation for success. She enjoys working closely with parents to identify strategies for continued support outside of sessions and collaborating with other professionals on a child’s team.
In her free time, Jordan enjoys staying active, traveling, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with her husband and Cocker Spaniel (Oliver).
