I work full time in at Cabool Schools. I work with grades k-12 with phonological disorders and receptive and expressive language disorders. At Texas County Memorial Hospital, I evaluate and work with all ages in the areas of cognition, expressive receptive communication, dysphagia, modified barium swallow assessments in outpatient, inpatient, and home health. Working at Houston House affords me the opportunity to work with older adults which I find highly rewarding.There, I evaluate and work with people with cognitive, expressive/receptive, and dysphagia.

Bio
I have been a speech therapist in the Cabool Missouri area for 20 years. I have worked with a variety of clientele from age one to one hundred. My patients have varying problems including: Parkinson's Disease, Dysphagia, Phonological disorders, Stroke, Head Injury, Autism, Cancer, Alzheimer's, and any number of disease process or disorders that would impede someone's ability to live independently and communicate effectively.
I have a Masters of Science in Speech/language Pathology and have my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) and have earned two ACE awards. This is awarded by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association or ASHA for Continuing Education in recognition of exceptional commitment to continuing professional education. I am dedicated to my profession and always strive to learn as much as possible about new ways to treat my patients.
I have worked in many different settings and currently I am working at Cabool Schools K-12 grades, Texas County Memorial Hospital, and Houston House nursing facility. This broad range enables me to work with many different ages and disabilities.
