Shana Wood Carroll was born and raised in Shelby, NC. She attended Western Carolina University for her undergraduate and graduate education and graduated with her master's degree in communication sciences and disorders with a certification in severe and profound disabilities. Shana has practiced as a pediatric speech-language pathologist in private practice, early intervention, and in the public schools. 

​

Shana's empathetic nature allows her to connect with the children and families she serves and to develop an environment where children feel safe to explore new skills. Shana specializes in treating children with speech and language delays and/or disorders, late talkers, social skills challenges, autism spectrum disorder, and down syndrome. 

 

Part of serving her clients is building a team of experienced and talented speech-language pathologists, speech-language pathology assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, and physical therapists, as well as mentoring and supporting them in their professional growth. As Shana’s practice has expanded to offer private speech and occupational therapy services and to contract with more school districts throughout North Carolina, Shana is excited about the opportunity to offer quality therapy to more children and their families.

​

In her free time, Shana enjoys working out, watching the Georgia Bulldogs play football, and spending time with her six children and husband at home and church.
