ABOUT Ms. Koberlein (Mellon)

Welcome back! My name is Denise Koberlein (Mellon). Although my name changed over the summer, I'll continue to go by Ms. Mellon to keep things simple for my students, their parents, and my colleagues. I was a Speech and Language Therapist for 26 years, working with children aged 3-21 in Berks and Lehigh counties. For nine of those years, I’ve had the pleasure of providing speech and language supports and services to students in the Brandywine Heights Area School District, at the Intermediate, Middle, and High School levels. Two years ago, I transitioned to my current role as the Autistic Support Teacher for students in grades 4-8, which has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. As I enter my third year in this role for the 2024-25 school year, I’m excited to continue this journey and support my students’ growth and success.
