About Sensational Kidz Speech Therapy


Building communication through play and everyday moments.

Our Story

Founded in 2015, Senational Kidz (SenKidz) Speech Therapy was born from a simple belief: every child deserves to find their voice.

My name is Didem McCollum, and I founded Sensational Kidz Speech Therapy in 2015 with a deep commitment to helping children find their voice and connect through communication. As a child, I personally experienced the transformative power of speech therapy, not only for articulation, but also in supporting my learning differences, including a reading disorder, writing disorder, and auditory processing challenges.

Through both school based and private practice therapy, I gained strategies and tools that empowered me to succeed academically and build confidence that continues to guide me in my professional life today. These experiences shape the compassionate, individualized approach I bring to every child and family we serve.

At Sensational Kidz Speech Therapy, we help children build confidence and find their voice through play, connection, and family involvement. Serving the San Francisco Bay Area, our licensed private practice provides individualized, family centered speech therapy designed to meet each child’s unique needs. What began as a small practice has grown into a trusted community resource, supporting hundreds of families throughout the Bay Area.

Our team of experienced speech language pathologists shares a deep commitment to helping children develop the communication skills they need to thrive at school, at home, and beyond. We continue to evolve our services by staying current with the latest research, while never losing sight of what matters most, the individual child in front of us, ready to grow and discover their potential. By weaving therapy into play and everyday routines, we make learning fun, functional, and meaningful.
