Welcome to the Speech & Language Resource Page

Hello to our speech friends and families! Your speech therapists (also known as “speech teachers”) sure miss seeing your smiling faces. We have been working hard to create this resource page for you so that you may continue to review and maintain all of the speech and language skills you have gained thus far. If you have any questions about activities and resources, or if you would just like to check-in and say “hi”, our email addresses are also listed below. Until we can see you again, please stay safe and healthy, and keep smiling!

All our best,
