✨ Employee Spotlight: Victoria Tyson M.S., CCC-SLP ✨

We are so lucky to have Tori on our North Arkansas Therapy Services team! 💚

Tori is a speech-language pathologist who is passionate about helping patients improve swallowing, voice, cognition, and executive functioning. Whether she’s working on safe swallowing strategies, strengthening the voice, or helping someone improve memory and problem-solving skills, she brings knowledge, creativity, and heart to every session.

What really sets Tori apart is her creativity 🎨 She comes up with the most engaging, functional activities that make therapy meaningful and individualized for each patient. No cookie-cutter sessions here!

She’s gentle, empathetic, and truly takes a whole-body approach to healing — recognizing that communication, cognition, and swallowing all impact overall health and quality of life.

If you or a loved one are struggling with:
🗣️ Voice changes
🥤 Swallowing difficulty
🧠 Memory or thinking challenges
📋 Organization or executive functioning concerns

Tori would love to help.

We’re proud to have her on our team! 💚
