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.

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.

While my first career was as an opera singer and college voice teacher, I decided to veer into the area of communication sciences and disorders in 2016 at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I love all elements of speech pathology work, so I try to stay active on the medical side of practice as well. This is my first year at Arbor Vitae-Woodruff. I fully endorse learning through play!
I live up in Winchester, WI with my partner Pete and my cat Tosti. I also have two adult children, Bene & Buzz, who live in Eau Claire. My oldest is married to Jess, the new addition to the family. We love to cook, play board and card games, and laugh. When I can get out on a boat and do some fishing, that is a treat!
