Valcuse Delma, MA, CCC-SLP, MBA / Yonkers NY / Nationwide teletherapy
Every voice has a waveform.
As an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist, I specialize in high-impact care for children and adults. I work with children who need devices to communicate, adults relearning to swallow safely, and families nationwide through secure teletherapy. Combining clinical expertise with a Master of Business Administration, I bridge the gap between effective treatment and navigating insurance hurdles so families can focus on what matters most.

Voicemails I keep hearing
Three messages that arrive every week.
Different families, different voices, the same three sentences. If one of them sounds like yours, you're in the right place.
My child needs a way to communicate. AAC and assistive technologyWhen words don't come easily, the right device changes everything. From trial and evaluation to long-term training and family coaching, I start from where you are and build from there. The support doesn't stop at the prescription.
Swallowing has become difficult.
Dysphagia therapy
Safe swallowing is not a small thing. It's everything. After a stroke, a neurological diagnosis, or with aging, my assessment is thorough and the plan is specific to your anatomy and your life. I'll help with referrals when you need another specialist.
The right specialist is three hours away.
Teletherapy and remote device support
Quality care should not depend on your zip code. Secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions bring AAC evaluation, dysphagia follow-up, and device consultation to your home. Evening and Saturday slots exist because most families work during the day.
About Valcuse
Two decades of practice. One unwavering focus.
I started my clinical training at New York University in 2004 and have spent the years since working with patients who couldn't be helped by a one-size approach. My background covers adult neurosciences rehabilitation, pediatric AAC, and dysphagia management, from acute hospital floors to private practice.
I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA alongside a Master of Business Administration, which shapes how I think about access, funding, and what happens when families hit insurance walls.
