Welcome to Speech!
I am so happy to have your child as my student this year. My educational history is as follows:
-B.S.Ed. in Communication Sciences and Disorders from The University of Georgia;
-M.Ed. in Communication Disorders from Georgia State University;
-Ed.D. with a concentration in Speech-Language Pathology from Nova Southeastern University.
I love helping students improve their communication skills. I am always available to help with any questions or concerns you might have about your child's speech and language skills.
I'm located in room B-236 at Westside Elementary School.
Home practice/homework:
I send home extra practice occasionally to help reinforce specific skills.
Please review any worksheet/task with your child.
Feel free to keep any papers at home for extra review.
