Welcome to Speech and Language!

 

I travel between Erie High School, Jefferson Elementary, and Pfeiffer-Burleigh Elementary school servicing approximately 65 students k-12. If you are interested in learning how to support your child's speech and langauge needs at home, please feel free to email me directly with any questions.

 

In the meantime, below are a list of free resources you can use with your child.
