I began my work at Eastview High School as a speech-language pathologist in January 2004 although I have been employed by District 196 since 1999. Speech-language services at EVHS are offered through a classroom service delivery model in which I serve as educator and through a pull-out model providing one-on-one or small group intervention. In the classroom model, the Communications Lab class, students earn an elective credit. The focus of this class is to improve communication through reading, writing,speaking, listening and thinking. Students whose primary disability is speech and language may also participate in Language Support class to work directly with their case manager for one class period a day.
