Speech and Language

Hi! My name is Kristina Guarro and I am an ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist here at Harrison Township School District. I have experience with children ages 3-21, adults in an acute care and rehab hospital setting, early intervention ages 0-3 and pediatric outpatient speech/language and cognitive therapy. I am absolutely passionate about helping children find their voices and becoming functional and effective communicators. The field of Speech and Language is always evolving and it is my responsibility to stay current with new research, techniques and strategies however,  I also continue to draw from tried and true evidence multi-sensory methods which allows me to colloborate with a students' grown-ups and their teacher to create a strengths-based therapy program specific to your child's needs and with content related to their academic curriculum.  I work hard to make speech and language meaningful, motivating, memorable and most of all FUN! Here on my website you will find the different areas of communication we address in the school setting, links to developmental communication milestones,  recent research resources and articles and helpful activities you can do anywhere to help your child's speech and language skills grow. There are so many opportunities all around us!!!!  A child's "grown ups" are an integral part of their team to foster healthy speech and language progress. I look forward to working with you to help your child's communication skills flourish 🌻
