Meet your instructor!

Hey there!

My name is Andrea Shrum, M.A., CCC-SLP, and I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist with 26 years of experience supporting children and families. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Texas Woman’s University and my Master of Arts from Kent State University.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m a proud member of CoBalt (Community-Based Autism Liaison Treatment Project) alongside Dr. Atkins and SEARK Children’s Clinic. CoBalt has been an invaluable resource in our community, supporting the early identification and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in young children.

I’m the owner of Chitter Chatty Speech Therapy, LLC and Happy Talk SEARK. I currently provide speech therapy services at Meaningful Movement—a wonderful pediatric clinic offering both speech and occupational therapy for children from birth through 18 years.

Beyond my professional role, I’m a grateful mom of four incredible children, now thriving as successful adults. They have inspired me every step of the way to be the best mom—and speech therapist—I can be.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that the most meaningful learning happens through child-led play, when children are fully engaged and motivated within their own play routines. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the excitement on a child’s face when they can express their wants, needs, and ideas during play.

That’s exactly what I love about Happy Talk! It’s a joyful, engaging program that blends hands-on play, sensory exploration, music, and sign language into a fun and nurturing experience for your little one. Together, we’ll enjoy music, sensory play, and sign language in a supportive environment designed to enrich your child’s early communication and development.

I can’t wait to see you in class!

Kind words

  • What Do Parents Say?

    My daughter and I recently took one of Andrea’s Happy Talk classes. It was nothing short of amazing! Not only was it filled with engaging music, interactive sign language and sensory play, but it offered a bonding experience for my daughter and I. 10/10 recommend! Macey P.
