Hello everyone!

My name is Jill Olen and I am the Speech Pathologist at Curtin Elementary School. I want to provide you with some resources in regard to speech, language, oral/speech fluency, and pragmatic social skills. There are fun educational games and videos that you and your child can watch at home.

I am a big supporter of having music help increase language and fluency skills for children and adults. So, sing away to those nursery rhymes. In addition to singing as a technique to increase language skills, so can reading to your child. Some children may not want to read, but books on tape or hearing you read every night is a lot less stressful; yet, still beneficial. Even rereading a book helps the student retell the book and understand what has been read to them.

So, read recipes, books, fun facts, and things you have researched. I am here to support you!

Google Meet links will be provided directly to the students and/or to the parents/guardians for our speech therapy sessions.
