BelRed Leadership

Feeding and speech therapist.

I am a calm, but fun-loving person who enjoys exercising, exploring, watching movies, and reading. I am a huge animal lover, but I have no pets as of yet. I used to competitively horseback ride, and am hoping to get back into it in the near future!

Jeri Berger is a Speech Language Pathologist based out of ICAN’s Bel-Red location. She is originally from Denver, Co. but grew up in Fla. Jeri received her M.S. in Speech Language Pathology from the University of South Fla. Jeri has been working in the field for over 35 years and has worked with both children and adults in Fla., Ca., and Wa. She had her own practice in Co. and Ca. for many years. Jeri moved to Wa. In 2015 and loves the PNW. She enjoys collaborating with families and other professionals to treat children using a team-based approach. When not working she enjoys time with her family and friends and loves to travel.

I recently moved to Seattle over the summer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my boyfriend, Ethan and cat,

Sunny. I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska and have enjoyed being able to live in a variety of different

places and cities. After work I enjoy thrifting, swimming, trying new food spots, and going to the movies!

I have been a COTA for over 13 years service neurodiverse children and families. I am a typically happy person that loves hanging out with my daughter and my friends as much as possible. I also enjoy working out in the form of running.

Natalya has been a BCBA with ICAN Bel-Red since September 2021. Before that she was a behavior technician at our Lakemont location. Natalya discovered the field of ABA back in 2017 and became fascinated with the use of behavioral strategies to teach cognitive, language, social, and self-help skills. She made the decision to return to school for her Master’s Degree in Special Education at the University of Washington and became a BCBA. She has worked with learners ages 18 months to 18 years across all settings. Her primary focus is to identify goals for her clients and their families that will improve quality of life, promote independence, and inspire meaningful engagement with their environments.

Outside of work Natalya enjoys spending time with her friends and family, playing board games, solving any and every kind of puzzle, studying winemaking, and exploring the PNW with her German Shepherd named Otto.

I graduated from UW three years ago with a bachelor’s degree in Human Centerened Design and Engineering. Ever since then, I was preparing for applying to medical school. I have many years of experience in early childhood education and I’m excited for this position and new challenge.
