Lindsay Garst, M.S., CCC-SLP

I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist passionate about helping children communicate, connect, and thrive through meaningful, play-based therapy.

I founded Well Played to create a more child-led, relationship-centered approach — one that prioritizes meaningful engagement, family collaboration, and functional communication.
