About the store

Experience

This is my 9th year working in the schools as an SLP. My main focus and love is working in highly structured classroom with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other needs.

Teaching style

My teaching style is flexible for each student. I love to incorporate movement and manipulatives into therapy. I often focus on either a literature activity or a functional life skill activity depending on the student's goals/age/needs.

My own education history

My undergraduate degree is in Linguistics from Mount Saint Vincent University in Canada. I took my Master of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Maine.
