About Me:

 

Natacha Moreno, M.S., CCC-SLP is a licensed speech-language pathologist with certification in the Compton P-ESL (Pronouncing English as a Second Language) Accent Modification Method.  As an American who acquired French as a second language, she relates to the pride born of one’s native language, yet has personally experienced  how accented speech can be a communication barrier.  With respect and cultural sensitivity, Natacha provides clients with the necessary help and training required to establish proper English pronunciation  andintonation patterns for more effective communication.
