About the store

Experience

I am an ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist and have experience in both public and private schools. I have worked with students ages 5-21 with a variety of communication needs. Currently, the majority of my students are adolescents working on social language skills, functional vocabulary comprehension and pre-vocational training. I love creating products that are neat, clean and have as many real-world photos as possible, so that they are appropriate for all students both young and old!

Teaching style

I have a passion for creating therapy materials that give students opportunities to interact with each other and that also relate to events happening in the outside world (seasons, holidays, etc.). I love to bring components of my therapy session outside of the therapy room and see students initiating conversation with other students/staff. Activities that elicit natural language opportunities such as making and delivering crafts, making recipes or participating in science experiments are my favorite! I also love to create materials with a clean and simple aesthetic incorporating real world pictures as much as possible. I want my materials to be appropriate for individuals from age 5 to 90!

My own education history

I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Development and a Masters Degree in Communication Disorders.
