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

My students love coming to speech therapy to increase their ability to effectively communicate amongst communication partners and environments. I value building strong relationships with my students and their families, and providing them with a safe and loving place to learn. I value sensory processing approaches, as well as a whole body approach to help children in these foundational years of their education. My students come from a variety of social and economical backgrounds, and flourish best by learning through play. We work hard, have fun, and create safe and comfortable environments for our children to look forward to returning to.
