Our founders
Speech Language Pathologists Sofia Basurto and Alejandra Delgado founded SOAL Home Health Services. Both founders were born and raised in Texas. Growing up in bilingual environments has allowed them to truly understand the complexities of providing home health services to bi-cultural families. Sofia and Alejandra have over 20 years of experience working with multidisciplinary teams. They hold multiple certifications and licenses to provide Speech Language and Feeding Therapies to children with various diagnoses in different settings, including schools, rehabilitation clinics, hospitals, and home health. Their experience in these settings and their bi-cultural upbringing have allowed them to identify many opportunities to improve the level of care provided to families and truly understand the complexities in our community.
