New School Year!

Well it's been a busy beginning of the school year!  I have completed my schedule, and you should have received a note letting you know when your child will be seeing me.
I just added a new section on my website.  It is the first heading on the left..."Auditory Bombardment Lists". Auditory bombardment is for students who have speech delays. The link under that heading will take you to a site where other school speech language pathologists have recorded auditory bombardment lists for many different speech sounds.   Follow the instructions on that site to have your child listen to the words.  They only need to listen! Your child can practice saying the words using the other articulation activities on my website.  Have fun!!

May is Better Hearing Speech/Language Month!
