Topics in Speech and Language: December 2019

A Little About Me and This Blog

I have been a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) since 1987. I am a member of the American Speech and Hearing Association. I have worked in the states of New York, Hawaii and Florida. I am currently in New York State. I have worked in settings that include public schools, special education preschools, hospitals, adult day treatment programs, home health rehabilitation, early intervention and preschool homebased therapy. I have provided evaluation and therapy to people ranging in age from 6 months to 100 years. I have worked with a wide range of conditions and treatments including fluency, aphasia, apraxia, voice disorders, dysphagia, cleft palate, hearing impairment, articulation delay, language delay, augmentative/alternative communication, autism, and many others through the years.
The purpose of this Blog is to share information and answer questions that you may have. I will strive to provide the correct information to the best of my professional knowledge. I may not share the same professional opinion as other licensed speech pathologists and I encourage second opinions if you want to be as informed as possible.

Update on my career

I have not posted on this blog since 2016. I have continued working as a speech/language pathologist. For the past 5 years I have been full time in a school district while still seeing preschoolers for the county public health department part time after school. I earned tenure at the end of last school year. I had intended to post helpful information over time, but I really have become too busy in my work and personal life to keep too active. I hope some of my previous posts have been helpful. I am hopeful that I will post again in the future.
