This was my first semester working with Autumn Oak Speech, Hearing and Voice. During my Independent Study Mentorship planning, I wanted to focus on pediatric speech disorders and bilingualism. I had initially wanted to mentor with a school Speech Pathologist and was going to until some plans fell through. Luckily, I found Autumn Oak.
When I called, they were very excited to work with me and I with them. My sessions were split between Ms. Eshita and Ms. Shelby, with most of my time being with Ms. Shelby. I learned/focused on articulation disorders and language therapy as most of the appointments were focused on these disorders.
As evident in my semester presentation, I was helped to create a patient and a therapy plan on how to treat them. I had chosen a student who needed articulation therapy as well as language therapy as that is what i had learned and focused on.
Please view the many tabs under the Fall 2021 catagory for all my work during this time. Thank you Ms.Eshita and Ms. Shelby for your help during this time.
