About me

Introduction	I am a licensed speech-language pathologist and have worked in this field for over thirty years. For the last twenty years, I’ve been employed in public schools. Previous to that, I worked in speech clinics in California, Alaska and Guam. I use children's literature in my practice consistently for the rich opportunity books provide to build vocabulary, sequence, improve grammar and capture the attention of young students. During my clinical years, I provided in-home speech therapy and parent education to children 0-3 and their families. I authored Talking Time, a book of speech and language activities for young children. I am also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and write stories for children.
