Bio
Most of my work as an SLP has been with school-age children and adults with aphasia. I greatly enjoy working with both these populations as well as children entering Kindergarten. As an SLP working in schools, I've become very familiar with the Kindergarten curriculum and the importance of Kindergarten readiness for children starting school. I also have experience working with children with (for example) autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and hearing loss.
