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

It feels great to be back for another exciting school year! I am a school-based speech and language therapist in an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York. As a speech therapist, I service students with special needs across all grade levels (PreK-5th grade) in order to provide them with the skills and support in order to be successful within their various classroom settings. My team of service providers (OT, PT and Counseling) work collaboratively to ensure a wholesome learning experience for our students. I am aiming to create the most enjoyable learning experience for my students as I work with them through their speech and language goals. Helping me with an iPad, laminator and printer can help me to optimize learning for my students by providing multiple resources for a wholesome learning experience.
