Speech Therapy Overview
The easiest method of contact for me is via email but you may also be able to reach me at Harris Elementary on Tuesdays and Fridays during regular school hours. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
In speech, we will work on developing our communication skills. Everyone's communication skills are at different levels, so we begin with what we have and build from there. The sky is the limit! My only requirement is participation. I don't expect you to be perfect at anything, but I do expect you to try and to treat others in speech with respect and kindness.
Expectations and Rules:
Hands to Myself
🖐️ ➡️ 🚫 Touching others
“I keep my hands to myself.”
Quiet Mouth When Listening
👂 + 🤫
“I wait my turn to talk.”
Safe Body
🪑 🧍♂️
“I stay in my seat or with the group.”
Kind Words or Quiet Voice
🙂💬 / 🤫
“I use kind words and my inside voice.”
Try My Best
💪🧠
“I try, even if it's hard.”
About me
My name is Mr. Mann (Easy to remember right?) and I'm your new speech teacher. I am from freezing cold Wyoming, but my family and I have made Arizona our home since 2023. I am a diet coke enthusiast, enjoy reading, whittling, sports, exercise, games, and especially spending time with my family. I'm a fluent Spanish speaker and this is my eighth year practicing as an ASHA Certified Speech and Language Pathologist.
Resources
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is the governing body for Speech and Language Pathology practice. There are a number of different resources available through their website.
