Hello, I'm Kristen Diggins, and I'm one of the speech-language pathologists (SLP) in the Nashoba District.  I work with grades 4-8 at The Florence Sawyer School as well as our Transitions Students from Nashoba Regional High School. As a school-based SLP, my role is to work with students with communication disabilities by providing speech-language therapy to help them access the curriculum. Speech-language therapy may be focused on expressive and/or receptive language (what you verbally say; what you understand), articulation, fluency, or social skills. I work in collaboration with the IEP team to support students in the areas of expressive and receptive language, articulation, social pragmatics, and fluency.
