Meet Jenny
Hi, I'm Jennifer Lee Marshall. I help little ones find their voice, and I genuinely love every minute of it.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as Adjunct Professor in the University of Kentucky's graduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and as the representing Speech-Language Pathologist for the Kentucky Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs (OCSHCN).
Helping a child say "mama" for the first time, watching a toddler finally enjoy mealtime without a fight, seeing a kindergartner walk into class with real confidence. These are the moments I show up for every single day. Speech therapy isn't just my career; it's genuinely my calling.
I opened Jenny Lee SLP because I wanted to give families something rare: hospital-level expertise with the warmth and personal attention that only a private practice can offer. You'll always know what we're working on, why it matters, and how your child is growing.
Before opening my private practice in Central Kentucky, I spent more than six years at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, one of the nation's top-ranked children's hospitals, working alongside surgeons and specialists in cleft palate, craniofacial differences, feeding, and AAC. As an active member of the interdisciplinary Craniofacial Anomalies Team (CFAT) and VPI clinic, I assessed speech and resonance in close collaboration with plastic surgeons to determine each child's plan of care.
Jenny also sees patients through the University of Kentucky's Plastic Surgery department and outpatient speech pathology services, where she has provided specialized craniofacial and resonance care since 2018. She currently serves as the representing Speech-Language Pathologist for the Kentucky Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs (OCSHCN).
My path into this field started with a BS in Biopsychology from UC Santa Barbara, followed by a post-baccalaureate certificate in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Sacramento State. I earned my MA in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Michigan State University before going on to specialize at Cincinnati Children's.
I am licensed in Kentucky, an active member of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA), and maintain my ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP).
Jenny remains actively engaged with the latest research to ensure every family benefits from evidence-based care. She has contributed to the field through peer-reviewed publication, state and national conference presentations (OSHLA, MSHA, CSHA), speechpathology.com continuing education webinars, and guest lectures at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry and College of Communication Sciences and Disorders.
