About Alexis Bolivar, M.A. CCC-SLP!
I am the owner and founder of Don't Wait Communicate, Speech &
Language Services. I am a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in the state of
New Jersey and maintain my national Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the
American Speech & Hearing Association (ASHA). I have been a practicing SLP for 16 years and have worked with young children for nearly 20 years. Don't Wait Communicate was developed from a need I saw as a busy working mom of 4, raising one of my children with special
needs. I found balancing work life, school life, and a busy therapy schedule challenging and figured you might feel the same. I knew there was a better way!
After years in a medical setting, the NJ Early Intervention (birth to 3) Program, conducting school evaluations and in my years working in my local Public preschool program, I realized after the age of 3, children often loose the convenience of in home services. Furthermore, some children continue to present with speech delays but do not qualify for their school district services as they are not "delayed enough". This leaves families with frequent trips to outpatient clinics, with long waitlists and limited hours.
Thus, Don't Wait Communicate was born! I desired to create a business that would provide
personal, attentive and individualized pediatric therapy services that can come to your home (in-person or virtual), your child's daycare/private school setting or our in-home office setting. I aim to provide practical, realistic approaches to achieving your family's speech and language goals.

How do I know my child will work well with you?

The consultation is a great opportunity to determine if we are a good "fit" for each other.
