Speech and Language Therapy

Speech and Language Therapy in the School Setting

Speech-Language services in the public schools are considered part of special education.

Students with speech-language needs might:

have speech that can be difficult for people to understand
have difficulty formulating sounds or sentences
have difficulty expressing themselves in a clear or concise manner
have difficulty understanding and using language
have difficulty listening or engaging in conversations
have difficulty with speech fluency

If a parent has concerns regarding a child's speech-language skills, it is appropriate to call the district office or the speech-language office.

District Office: 715-356-3282 ext. 4451

Meet the Speech Therapists

I received my undergraduate degree in communication sciences and disorders from UW-Eau Claire in 2012 and my masters degree in speech language pathology in 2014 from UW-Stevens Point. I have worked in a variety of settings in both Madison, WI and the Northwoods, including: pediatric outpatient, tele-therapy, birth to three and schools.

I live in Arbor Vitae with my husband, two children and Boston Terrier. I enjoy being outdoors all year round, hiking, biking, camping, skiing and snowshoeing.

Mrs. Bognar

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Madison with an undergraduate degree in communication disorders and went on to finish my masters degree from UW-Milwaukee. I worked in the Franklin Public Schools for over 30 years as a therapist, diagnostic teacher and eventually, a coordinator for the special education program. I retired in 2020 thinking that I was going to enjoy the Northwoods for all that it has to offer. My husband and I are avid skiers and love to snowmobile. We also enjoy hiking and spending time on the water. We have four adult children and 4 grandchildren.
