Who is Panda Speech?


A little background:
I am a speech language pathologist working in Texas. I have experience in the school systems, ECI programs(early intervention birth-3yrs), and outpatient clinics. I have also worked PRN in nursing homes to keep up my medical skills! I primarily work in schools (pre-k through 12th grade).   I absolutely love my job and feel so lucky to have the opportunity to work with families to help their child communicate. I have my license in Texas and my Clinical Competence Certificate from ASHA (American Speech and Hearing Association).


My mission with this site is to give parents, teachers, and SLPs valuable tips and resources to encourage carry over of speech and language skills into the classroom, home,  and community! I write weekly tips and have FREE downloads throughout my blog.

I also create materials in my Teachers Pay Teachers store: Panda Speech.  My hope is that my original materials will help busy SLPs build a library of effective materials!  I also will share information about my favorite apps and other information relevant to SLPs! 

My other passion is my family. I am married to a wonderful man and have one son and two step sons! I am also a Boston Terrier enthusiast and my dog is my best bud! :)
