About the store

Experience

Welcome to Speech Your Mind | Creations for Communication Made Simple | I just completed my seventeenth year as a speech-language pathologist. Currently, I work full-time in the public schools. I love working with students of many ages and varying populations. I have experience working with infants and toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children through high school.

Teaching style

Expect the best. Build upon ones' strengths. Practice makes progress. Have fun. Learning happens through experience. Support and teach our families to develop and improve skills at home. Meet the child at his/her level while providing challenges along the way. Individualized instruction. Explore the whole child. Communication is an essential skill for developing relationships throughout life.

My own education history

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Miami University in Ohio and my Masters of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Maryland.

Additional biographical information

I'm a proud mom of two kiddos living in the Washington DC area.
