My Project

I am a speech-language pathologist in a Title I Prekg- 8th school. I work with students who have speech and language delays. Teaching speech and language skills using hands- on and sensory based materials, such as play- doh, is a perfect combination.

Play is the Language of Early Learning!

Using the play-doh, and tools that go with them, will allow me to develop lesson plans that incorporate the students' IEP goals. I will be able to work on goals such as following oral directions, spatial terms like 'on' and 'in,' texture words such as 'soft' and 'bump,' and wh questions such as "What did you do first?"
