Welcome to Speech and Language Support

I am excited to be working with your children that are new to the speech program and welcome back the students previously enrolled in the program.  Based on your child’s individualized education plan (IEP), I will be providing support in a push-in manner, a small group or individual pull out sessions for direct services.  During pull-out we work on a variety of speech and language activities based on your child’s individual needs.  These activities can include articulation, expressive language, receptive language, pragmatics (social language), oral motor planning and more.  I will be collaborating with your child’s teacher to help elicit speech and language carry-over into the classroom setting.
