Helping Teachers Support their Students

As Speech Language Pathologists, we understand the demands placed on educators to manage an entire classroom, and their desire to enhance a child’s educational journey. During our teacher training program, we equip our teachers with the skills needed to engage in more effective communication with their students, and identify and modify language and behaviors based on milestones. Our goal is to deliver evidence-based insights and tools to make each teacher’s day to day operations more enjoyable and effective. Our classes combine demonstrations of strategies with opportunities to practice and role play. The strategies and methods can be incorporated in many regular classroom activities.

Please contact us with your questions or to discuss next steps.

 

Class Descriptions
