Jenny Riat

Jenny Riat (she/her) is the lead speech-language pathologist and co-owner of EMME. She earned her Master of Arts in speech-language pathology from the University of Kansas in 2013. Over the last 12 years, she’s provided services to children birth - 21 in home, online, school, camp, daycare, and community settings.

Jenny works within the healthcare and educational systems, despite their flaws, because of the individuals who rely on these systems daily. While a strong advocate for systems changes, she is equally passionate about finding support for families who need it today. She started EMME because excellence is for everyone.

Jenny’s favorite part about speech-language pathology is the art of play. She loves finding the just right balance between rigor and fun, professionalism and authenticity, research and practice. A lover of data, graphs and visual supports, she believes that if you’re not having fun, neither is anyone else! Most of all, Jenny values your story, which deserves to be told.

Jenny lives in Colorado with her husband, Dustin, her son, Sullivan, and two dogs, Maya and Bentley. Sully loves dirt bikes which recently inspired Jenny to get her motorcycle endorsement. Jenny loves having relaxing Colorado summers together with her family.
