My experience and scholarship has focused primarily on developing SLPs as professionals. From AAC, to literacy, to professional collaboration, to evaluation; my goal is to provide SLPs actionable skills to raise their already-great work into something even greater.

Teachers of ECSE students, LID students, EB students, and students with high-incident disabilities all benefit from a clearer understanding of language development, methods of language support, and understanding the ways in which literacy is part of this process.

We like to say that administrators “wear many hats” which is a kind way of saying that they are asked to do it all. One of the many responsibilities that administrators are asked to fill is the supervision of special education personnel and at ARD meetings. Allow me to break down the “need to know” of what to expect from your SLPs, the language intervention to your students, and how to better support them all.

It has been my honor to present to parents at various parental conferences and in districts. Parents are a highly valuable resource that is often underutilized. Whether training parents or training teachers to better utilize parents, there is much to gain.
