Happy Monday

🌟 Time to meet another one of our amazing therapists! Meet Sarah- Speech 🌟

▪️How long have you been practicing?

I’ve been a speech-language pathologist assistant for almost 2 years!

▪️What inspired you to become a SLPA?

Communication is a fundamental part of life, and I am passionate about helping children find their voice to express their needs, thoughts, and feelings. During my senior year of college, while working in a clinic, I witnessed a child say their first words. The joy of that moment solidified my desire to work with children in the field of speech therapy.

▪️What is/are some of your favorite parts of working for VTH?

I like the flexibility of scheduling and I love the people I get to work with. I love the collaborative atmosphere and the ability to get support and help when I need it.

▪️Favorite food?

Mozzarella sticks

▪️ If you could visit anywhere, where would it be?

Italy

▪️Are you originally from Greenville?

No, I grew up in a rural town in Pennsylvania called Berwick

▪️What are 3 random facts about you?

I love listening to musicals all day/every day, New Years is my favorite holiday, and Inside Out is my go-to comfort movie

▪️What are some words of wisdom you would offer to anyone going through the journey of having a loved one in therapy?

Modeling language for your child makes a powerful impact. Progress can be hard to notice day to day, but when you step back, you can truly see how far they’ve come since day one. Wins in therapy look different for every child, and every win is worth celebrating.

Let's talk about Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices- as many see others using one..but what is its purpose?

AAC is any way a person communicates besides or in addition to spoken words.

AAC helps people express themselves, not replaces who they are.

What AAC really gives people.. 💙

A voice
Autonomy
Behavior support (because behavior is communication)
Connection
Dignity
When people can communicate, frustration drops and confidence rises.

Here is one of our kiddos who has been using his device more & more lately to express his wants, needs, feelings, etc..its been so amazing to see his progress with Ms. Hannah!

Everyone deserves a way to say what they think, want, and feel 🐘
