About The Teacher
What do all of those initials mean after your name? Well, M.S. - means I have a Master of Science Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree and my Master of Science Degree from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. (I grew up in Pennsylvania.) CCC-SLP - means I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech- Language Pathology from the National Organization called ASHA - American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association. I also have a license from the state of California to practice Speech- Language Therapy and a Credential from the state of California to work with children in the schools. For 14 years, I worked in Rehabilitation Hospitals, doing speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing therapy with teenagers and adults that had severe brain injuries (which is why you will frequently hear me say: You should ALWAYS wear your helmet when you ride your bike, skateboard, scooter, or play contact sports!). I decided to switch to being a speech and language therapist in the schools, after my son, Zac, started Kindergarten, 12 yrs. ago. I loved helping in his class and decided that working in the schools with children would be the best job... and I was right. I love it! (Wow, has that gone by too quickly! Zac is starting his Senior year at Enterprise High School!) I want all of my students to love coming to Speech and Language Therapy, to work on their communication skills. For the 2011-2012 School Year, my schedule will be: Monday - Redding School of the Arts Tuesday - Monarch Learning Center Wednesday- Redding School of the Arts Thursday- Office Day - You may see me testing students at your school Friday - Redding School of the Arts
