Meet the Speechies
In 2017, we became the speech and language teachers in room 117. We all had different ideas, came from various backgrounds, with diverse experiences, but all had the same goal in mind: to create therapy materials and resources to make our lives easier, as well as help our students to succeed.
We work with high school students with varying expressive, receptive, and pragmatic difficulties that impact their learning. We continue to work on creative ways to teach our students strategies that they can generalize into the classroom that will allow them to successfully access the curriculum. We focus on topics that are interesting and engaging for our students to keep them motivated and inspired.

I have been working in my current High School since 2013. I have never complained or wanted a different school. My husband hears me say all the time how lucky I am to work at my school, especially because there is ample parking. I love collaborating with Michelle and Stephanie our favorite days are when we introduce a new packet!
