Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a speech pathologist, I see a number of different students throughout the school. We work either in small groups or one-on one. My students come ready to improve their communication skills and grow as little humans.

"Sparkle in School" is a fabulous speech and language program that brings current research into practice.

Having access to the "Sparkle in School" program is sure to make intervention more engaging and lead to significant articulation and language gains for my students. This program focuses on building the connections between home and school and optimizing progress by putting only the most evidence based strategies into practice.
