About
Meet the Founder: Valcuse Delma
Two decades of practice. One unwavering focus on the patients other clinicians said were too complex to treat.
Meet the Founder
Twenty years in. One unwavering focus.
As a Clinical Specialist dedicated to evaluating and treating speech and language disorders for children and adults, including specialized care for nonverbal individuals, I bridge the gap between clinical excellence and healthcare navigation. My background spans adult neurosciences rehabilitation, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and comprehensive dysphagia management.
Throughout my career, I have delivered expert care across diverse clinical environments, from the high-stakes, rapid-response floors of acute care hospitals to the collaborative, long-term focus of private practice, where families can deeply invest in the therapeutic process.
Qualifications & Expertise
Clinical Scope. Comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment of speech and language disorders across the lifespan.
Credentials. Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), alongside a Master of Arts and a Master of Business Administration (MBA).
Dual Perspective. The clinical side of my practice ensures targeted interventions that deliver real results, while the business side brings a deep understanding of payer policies, reimbursement strategies, and how to advocate for families when they hit insurance barriers.

Speech Cuse Therapy PC
Built to do the work that does not fit in a hospital schedule.
I founded Speech Cuse Therapy in 2026 to bring full-spectrum SLP expertise directly to families, without the waitlists or the institutional limitations that slow care down.
The office is in Yonkers, NY. The reach is national. Telehealth appointments are available Monday through Friday evenings, and Saturday mornings.
Three disciplines
Twenty years taught and refined across three areas.
The practice is built around three things, in equal measure.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Devices, programming, training, long-term family support. From iPad-based apps to dedicated speech-generating devices, the work starts at evaluation and continues through years.
Dysphagia evaluation and treatment
Adult and pediatric. Stroke recovery, post-surgery rehab, pediatric feeding therapy. Coordinated with your medical team, not running parallel to it.
Teletherapy across state lines
Licensed multi-state. Sessions designed for the screen, not just translated to it. AAC, dysphagia adult therapy, parent coaching, follow-up sessions.
