Welcome!
My name is Kristina Heimer, and I am a speech-language pathologist at Bonner Elementary School, working with kindergarten through 2nd grade students with speech and language needs.
I received both my bachelor's degree in Communication Disorders (2016) and master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology (2018) from Minnesota State University- Mankato. I am a proud ASHA certificate holder (CCC-SLP) and ASHA member.
Areas of Speech and Language:
Articulation: How speech sounds are produced.
Phonology: How sounds are organized into classes and the rules/patterns that govern production.
Receptive Language: How we comprehend language and language concepts in a variety of areas: semantics (vocabulary), syntax (grammar), pragmatics (social skills), and morphology (word order). Listening and Auditory Processing (how language is processed) is also included in Receptive Language (example: following multi-step directions).
Expressive Language: How we use language to express ideas, feelings, and needs in a variety of areas: semantics (vocabulary), syntax (grammar), pragmatics (social skills), and morphology (word order).
Fluency: How fluently, or smoothly, we speak.
