My Students

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I work with 56 students, who are in preschool to sixth grade and have varying speech, language, and communication needs including: mild to severe articulation (sound errors), stuttering, voice, communication, and language (social language, grammar, semantics). I work in four special day classrooms with students who have Autism, intellectual disabilities, and learning disabilities. The majority of my students are non verbal or have very limited communication skills.

Collaboration with classroom teachers is key to improve my students’ speech and language skills.

I try to make every effort to use the same reading materials and curriculum-related activities while working with my students on their specific speech or language needs. My students always try their best and work very hard. I think they look forward to Speech Time!

My Project

All of my students are working to improve their speech, language, and/or communication skills. My students who are in Special Day Classroom Programs are using a wonderful curriculum that has stories and activities that are highly picture-based.

With a color printer, my students will be able to increase their language and communication skills while reviewing brightly colored curriculum-based stories.

Some of them will also be able to learn how to communicate using colored picture communication boards or books that I can create with the printer.

My students who have articulation, voice, or stuttering difficulties will also benefit from having bright and colorful picture scenes or flash cards to practice. Colorful speech homework activities may just be what my students need to motivate them more to succeed!
