About

I have been working in schools as an assisstant for many years now. In this time frame I have developed a better understanding for childrens needs. Along the way I came on board onto a job that focuses on children that are deaf and blind. Although I work with children that are blind in the vision department I have come across many professionals in the field including speech language pathologist and audiologists. While seeing them work I grew a passion to want to help students with the speech aspect of children. I wish to someday be a speech language pathologist myself.
