APRIL 2024 DATES TO REMEMBER:

4/1/2024-4/5/2024: NO SCHOOL-- SPRING BREAK!

  

My name is Meghan Reid and I am a Speech-Language Therapist at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School.  One main objective of the speech department is to get our students functionally communicating.  Some of the ways in which we do this are through the development of verbal and nonverbal communication skills, language building activities, social interaction with peers, as well as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. The delivery of information can be presented through an individual, or a mixture of mediums such as auditory, visual, or tactile stimulation.  Speech therapy activities and session structure are tailored to each child's individual needs in order to help them work towards communicating in the most effective way.  Our goal is to develop and trial each comprehensive approach to communication, as well as provide the resources and support for these methods to be carried over into natural environments such as the classroom, at home, and during Activities of Daily Living. 

 

Homework and carry-over activities are provided to children and their families on an individual basis if it is determined by both parent and therapist that additional practice is necessary outside of school.  These tasks will be tailored to each student's communication/language/speech abilities and the targets currently being worked on. 

 

Make language a part of every routine, daily activity, trip to the store/playground/park/doctor's office*

Modeling the labels for words along with pointing to the items, pairing them with pictures or photos, as well as allowing children to explore/manipulate the real objects helps strengthen understanding and support progress in language development!
