About the store
I've been a USA-based SLP for 30 years and have worked with individuals spanning ages 2 to 101 years of age. My goal is to provide resources which are appealing to older students and adults, even when basic skills are targeted.
Although most of my career was devoted to providing SLP services in the medical setting, I transitioned to K-12 teletherapy setting in 2019. I also have experience living abroad, where I served displaced individuals who were also English Language Learners.
My own children have been my greatest teachers. Two of my three children were adopted outside of the USA. I understand what it is like to be the parent in those IEP meetings.
I find great joy in my family, dogs, music, chocolate, experimenting with various art mediums, and exploring this beautiful planet! My happiest hour of the week is rehearsing my Alto 1 part in an acapella group.
If you purchase one of my products and run into any issues, please let me know.
