About

​Rise & Shine Speech and Language​

​

At Rise & Shine Speech and Language, I am dedicated to helping children grow in communication, confidence, and ability, rooted in faith and compassion. Inspired by Jeremiah 29:11—"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."—we believe that every child is uniquely created with a purpose and potential.
 
Through speech therapy, I strive to nurture each child's God-given abilities, empowering them to rise above challenges and shine in their own way. My mission is to provide joyful, faith-driven, and evidence-based therapy that fosters growth, independence, and hope for every child and family I serve.

About Krista Dotson, M.S. CCC-SLP

 

Hello! Thank you for considering Rise & Shine Speech and Language  to assist with your child's speech and language development! 

​

I have been a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist for 12 years and am the founder of Rise & Shine Speech and Language. I am also a proud alumna of Texas Woman's University, where I earned my M.S. in Communicative Sciences and Disorders, and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where I earned my B.A. in English with a minor in Christian Studies. I grew up in San Antonio, TX. 

​

I have practiced speech pathology in multiple settings, including schools, home health, ECI, and in-patient rehabilitation hospitals.  I am a certified member of the American Speech-Hearing Association (ASHA) and have worked with children of all ages who have a variety of disorders, including autism, downs syndrome, rett syndrome, language disorders, articulation disorders, and fluency disorders. I am currently licensed to practice speech pathology in Texas.

​

I love spending time with my husband and three children. We like to spend time outdoors exploring nature (we love the river and lake!) and traveling to the mountains for some cooler weather.
