Bryar Daum, B.S. SLP-A

Bryar’s interest in the field of Speech-Language Pathology began from her own experience “going to speech” in elementary school. She loved speech and her Speech- Language Pathologist so much that she dreaded the end of services. Fast-forward years later when Bryar needed to decide on a major. She never forgot the impact her Speech-Pathologist had on her and realized she would love to make that impact on others. Bryar completed her bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Southeast Missouri State University in 2022 and her master’s degree in May 2024 from Rockhurst University. During the summer of 2023, Bryar spent ten weeks at the Pediatric Place for an externship placement and quickly realized this was the place she wanted to work. She fell in love with the therapy, the staff, and most importantly -- the patients! Bryar is passionate about providing strategies and building on existing skills to assist patients in establishing/improving their communication. She can not wait to get started!
