I love providing services at local preschools and working with amazing teachers. Check out this activity a teacher set up at Progressive Learning For Children.

The children had a great time hammering golf tees into a pumpkin—a fun, hands-on activity that helps build fine motor skills and confidence.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to partner with such dedicated educators and watch students learn and grow through play.

I had the privilege of joining dedicated speech therapists from RI at the State House, where May was declared as Speech-Language-Hearing Month. Each May RISHA hosts an event at the State house. The event aims to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role of speech language pathologists and audiologists. Thank you Senator Hanna Gallo for her commitment as both a senator and a speech language pathologist, and a big shout out to Allan Shaw, the current president of RISHA, for his tireless advocacy.

Helping your child with a speech disorder doesn’t need to be stressful. If you are feeling overwhelmed or frustrated a speech therapist can help. If your child is already receiving speech therapy,ask your therapist what progress you should expect and when? Understanding what improvements to look for and a possible time frame will help you stay positive and celebrate the small steps along the way. In private therapy, I provide parents with practical easy ways to help children and decrease frustration.

Having over 30 years experience as a speech therapist doesn’t mean I can stop learning. There are always new techniques to explore and research to review. This holiday was the perfect opportunity to complete two online courses. I picked up some great new tips today to help the clients I work with.

The Ugly Pumpkin was a fan favorite with students this week. It is crazy how a good book can provide so much material for language expansion and generalization of speech sounds targeted in therapy. Students loved creating our own very special “Ugly Pumpkin” this week. It even inspired me to write a blog about some of the ways, books can be incorporated into therapy sessions.

I will have some openings in October for private speech therapy services in your home. My availability is reduced during the school year while I am back to work in a public school setting. It is a busy time for students and parents and private speech coaching is the perfect solution to help your child make progress in speech as we work around your busy schedule. I will help you incorporate practice into daily routines. Children are showing progress in home based therapy in as little as 4 weeks. Consultations are always free.
