I am a 35-year-old wife and mother. I have been a licensed Speech Therapist for 11 years. I have worked a great deal with children ages 0-3 in Early Intervention as well as in Elementary and Middle Schools. I find that my background as a Speech Language Pathologist and my intrinsic desire for academics have been a great combination for enabling me to help many students over the years. I am creative and have an unlimited amount of ideas of new ways to teach a child, so that each child is able to access the learning style that comes most easily to them!
I am trained and experienced with children who have many diagnosis including ADHD, Autism, and Sensory Processing Disorder and I recognize the challenges they face when trying to stay focused. In my experience modifications and strategies can make a huge difference and I am eager to help my students in these ways whenever possible.
As a speech tutor I am able to help carryover speech goals and teach speech skills in with a variety of different approaches. I specialize in articulation, apraxia, language, pragmatics, written expression, reading comprehension, phonics, grammar, spelling, stress patterns, and feeding/diet progression (pick eating).
I am not your average tutor. I strive to empower not only the child, but their family. I am happy to consult with parents and to help with carryover of skills. I can assure you that if you are needing some help with your child's academic progress or speech skills, that I can be of great help to not only your child's happiness, but yours too because as a mother I understand that when our children are struggling, so are we!
