About ME
I am a speech-language pathologist originally from the great state of Vermont. Now living and working in Connecticut I specialize in AAC and social and emotional learning and literacy. For many years I worked in Early Intervention providing speech-language and communication services to young children with communication needs. It was through these experiences that I recognized the need for fun, positive and thoughtful ways to teach young children about their emotions, strengths and incredible intelligence. I hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech Language Hearing Association as well as a state license in Connecticut. I am also a certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP).
ABOUT THE SERIES
The ideas and strategies presented are based on some of the leading evidence-based interventions and research in the areas of early education, social-emotional learning, positive behavior intervention and positive psychology. Resources are provided in each book for readers who want to explore the topics further. Each book explores a theme appropriate to a specific age group with the goal of creating a fun, supportive and memorable experience for kids and caregivers. I hope you enjoy the series!
