Hello! Hola!你好! Oi!

My name is Kaiting Tu Bronson, and I am a Taiwanese-Chinese-American speech-language pathologist living in Leander, TX with my wonderful husband. I speak English natively, am fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese, and have a beginner’s level of American Sign Language.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve been providing speech therapy services in the greater Austin Area, in the home health, school, teletherapy, and clinic settings. Along the way, my journey even took me to Bolivia and Ghana for some incredibly rewarding experiences helping communities abroad. My mission is to empower others to share their own unique stories with the world.

My Lived Experiences

Being a neurodivergent individual and a child of immigrants, I grew up both experiencing within myself, and observing within my family, the social isolation that results from communication struggles. It wasn’t always easy navigating different cultures and languages going to school in the USA, Taiwan, and China. I experienced bullying and struggled to keep up in school.

Despite these challenges, I loved having these opportunities to access an entirely different world. My grandparents didn’t speak English, and I remember at 6 years old thinking that I wouldn’t be able to understand all their awesome stories if I didn’t understand Mandarin. That’s when I first became fascinated in learning other languages so I could understand others expressing themselves in their most comfortable language. If you’re raising a bilingual child, here are some fun games inspired by a mix of my childhood and speech therapy sessions!

A Holistic Approach to Speech Therapy

I believe every behavior has a purpose, and I strive to understand what a person is communicating rather than simply expecting compliance.

Because meaningful progress happens beyond the therapy room, I work closely with families to create practical strategies that fit naturally into everyday routines rather than feeling like extra homework.

In addition to core clinical speech and language pathology training, I have dedicated additional time throughout my career studying counseling skills and am committed to fostering a warm and safe space for people to find purpose and joy in self expression. I explore why meaningful communication begins with connection over correction in my Resources Library.

The Art & Science Behind my Practice

When I’m not helping people learn to express themselves, I like to read, hula hoop, play and compose for piano, and practice Shodo (Japanese calligraphy). I find that the self-reflection on the science of learning help me connect with my clients during our speech sessions. Japanese calligraphy teaches the beauty of a grounded focus. Piano challenges me to reflect on scaffolded learning. During speech therapy sessions, I breakdown complex concepts into tiny manageable steps, and teach with grounded patience, one step at a time.
