About Pamela Cerrato
Pamela Cerrato is a seasoned pediatric speech-language pathologist with over 27 years of experience helping children find their voice, express their thoughts, and grow into confident communicators. Originally from Yonkers, New York, Pamela has devoted her entire professional life to working with children, guiding them through speech and language challenges with a unique blend of expertise, warmth, and compassion.
Her journey into speech therapy began with a deep desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and their families. Over the years, she has worked with countless young clients—each with their own unique needs, personalities, and goals—and has built a reputation for achieving meaningful, lasting results. Pamela believes that every child deserves to be heard and understood, and she creates a safe, supportive environment where progress happens at the child’s pace, with joy and encouragement every step of the way.
A loving and dedicated mother, Pamela relocated to Florida to be closer to her family, including her two children who are currently attending Florida colleges. Her commitment to family, values, and community runs deep, and it’s reflected in everything she does—both personally and professionally. Those who know Pamela often say her nurturing nature, patience, and heart for children are what truly set her apart. It’s no surprise that her own children are bright, kind, and independent young adults—a testament to the love and intentional care she pours into every relationship.
Today, Pamela provides speech therapy services in-person in Vero Beach, FL, and virtually to children across New York—bringing her trusted expertise to the families who need it most, no matter the distance. Whether she’s working with infants on early feeding and communication, helping toddlers build vocabulary, or supporting preschoolers as they prepare for school success, Pamela’s mission remains the same: to empower every child she works with to reach their full potential.
Pamela has been an incredible asset to our school. Her ability to connect with children and deliver results is unmatched. We’ve seen tremendous progress in the students she’s worked with—both in their speech development and overall confidence. Parents constantly praise her, and we’re grateful to have such a skilled and compassionate therapist supporting our community.

What Parents Are Saying
“I am writing this to let the reader know the absolutely wonderful experience and all the progress and achievements Our daughter Penelope made while in the care of her speech therapist Pamela Cerrato. Penelope was completely non-verbal at the start of her attending her sessions with Pam. By the time her sessions had come to an end Penelope was saying words and sometimes two in a row. Pam was very communicative with us as parents with techniques and activities that we know for sure led to her rapid advancement. Not only was she an amazing speech therapist but was so loving toward Our daughter, sending us videos of them working together. Their bond was very clear. If my daughter was in the classroom and saw Pam walk by she would run to the door and cry to go with her. If we could have kept Pam forever we would have. Anyone who is seeking speech therapy for their loved ones, I would strongly suggest Pamela Cerrato. I promise You will be happy you did.”

“In the tough world of finding Speech Therapist for our son; we couldn’t have been more blessed to have had Ms. Pam come into our lives. We went from having a boy who refused to get out of our vehicle, to one getting on a bus and happy to walk into the school building knowing he would see his favorite Teachers!
Joanna Goldstein
“Miss Pam worked with our son for an entire school year and thru the summer. Her communication to us was life changing. Not only did she keep us up to date with which articulation sounds she and our son were working on – but she was the first speech provider to encourage us to get our son’s hearing tested. Because of her expertise, we discovered our son needed hearing aids – which made all the difference in his world and ours. His comprehension and articulation improved immensely. During his year with Miss Pam, our son happily attended his speech sessions and worked hard to improve.”
Alexandra Petrassi
“Miss. Pam worked with my son Nicholas for 2 years when he was 3 and 4 years old. The incredible progress he made working with her was unbelievable. I couldn’t believe how well he was speaking. In those two years, my son went from not saying any words, to speaking in full sentences. She was incredibly patient, kind and loving. Her passion shines through with each child she works with. We will forever be grateful for her!! “
Melissa Rosciano
“Miss Pam was my son Andrew’s speech therapist when he was 4/5 years old. She was amazing with him and wonderful to work with! Despite sessions being over zoom she managed to engage him and keep his attention. She got to know him (and the rest of my family!) well very quickly and always came prepared with new ideas, games and strategies that he enjoyed and looked forward to. She is sweet, fun, full of energy, dedicated, caring and experienced. Most importantly my son made so much progress working with her! He “graduated” from needing speech services. Even though it’s been awhile since we worked together “Miss Pam” is still referred to in our house as one of our favorite “teachers”. I highly recommend her and Andrew does too!”
