Mrs. Farner

This is my 12th year working as a Speech Language Pathologist in the school setting and my 10th year at The Villages Charter School. I was born and raised in Ocala, FL and love living in the sunshine state. I graduated from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and received my Master's Degree from The University of South Florida. I am a wife to my husband Kyle and a mom to 3 beautiful children; Henley (10), Landyn (8), and Fletcher (5). I enjoy the beach, being active, coffee, and peanut butter. I am looking forward to a fabulous year with your kiddos!

Below are some online resources with helpful information and Speech/Language at home practice

You can print the picture in black and white for your child to color, cut them out and use them as flashcards, or tape them around the house to have your child practice saying the word when they find a card. The possibilities are endless :)
