Kevin James Simmons is
The Singing SLP
ABOUT
Since an early age, I've always loved making people smile through song, dance, humor, or all the above. With the completion of my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and Psychology from Kennesaw State University, I discovered Speech Pathology; Combining my background in anatomy, human behavior, and passion for helping people, I pursued and earned my Master's Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders - Becoming a rarity in the field - A Black, male speech pathologist.
I believe, since the inception of The Singing SLP, that my song parodies, dances, educational videos, and dream to help people on a global scale will in turn bring more awareness to the speech pathology field and ultimately spread more love and kindness to the world - Because at the end of the day, we all have a story and it's time for it to be heard.
