• Welcome!
     
    I have had the privilege of being the Speech and Language Pathologist at Centerville Elementary School for many years! I work with students in grades K-3 as well as most students in the intensive resource rooms. We work on many things including language development, articulation therapy, social skills, comprehension and strategies to successfully access the grade level curriculum. I work closely with your child's classroom teacher with hopes of providing the most effective and successful learning environment for each student's learning needs.  I hope you will find some valuable resources on this site to enhance your child's speech and language development and address any concerns you may have.  Thank you for taking the time to view our website as well as the opportunity to work with your students! I so enjoy seeing your students each and every day!  For those of you that have tablets, there are some wonderful free or inexpensive apps to support language/literacy development:
     
    • Smart Apps for Special Needs (has a free app Friday when you sign up)
    • Abitalk has many wonderful free apps for phonics, vocabulary, sight words
    • Mobile Education Store LLC has several excellent Language based apps that are under $10
    • Tiny Hands Apps Education 
     
    Some excellent speech and language websites that offer guidance to parents with questions:
