I have been a Speech Lan­guage Pathol­o­gist for 15 years in and around Quin­cy Illi­nois. I start­ed my career as a Speech Lan­guage Pathol­o­gist by work­ing in a rur­al school for two years as well as with­in a rur­al nurs­ing home. After leav­ing the school set­ting, I tran­si­tioned into work­ing for an Out­pa­tient Rehab com­pa­ny. While work­ing for this com­pa­ny I worked in sev­er­al dif­fer­ent set­tings which con­sist­ed of (but not lim­it­ed to) skilled nurs­ing facil­i­ty set­tings (in both Illi­nois and Mis­souri), a rur­al inpa­tient hos­pi­tal set­ting, schools, out­pa­tient ther­a­py set­tings (in both Illi­nois and Mis­souri), day­care cen­ters, in home day­care set­tings, and in home set­tings for Home Health Ser­vices and Ear­ly Inter­ven­tion Ser­vices (in both Illi­nois and Mis­souri). I worked in this set­ting for a lit­tle over ten years before tran­si­tion­ing to Quin­cy Med­ical Group. With­in the Quin­cy Med­ical Group set­ting I am cur­rent­ly on the Pedi­atric Ther­a­py Glob­al Assess­ment team with a Neu­ropsy­chol­o­gist and Occu­pa­tion­al Ther­a­pist where I assess chil­dren on their speech and lan­guage skills as they relate to (but not lim­it­ed to) Autism, ADHD, Anx­i­ety, Dyslex­ia, etc. I also am part of the Pedi­atric Ther­a­py team were I work with chil­dren with a vari­ety of dis­or­ders (includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to) Lan­guage Delays, Articulation/​Phonological Dis­or­ders, Devel­op­men­tal Delays, Oral Motor Dis­or­ders, Voice dis­or­ders, Vocal Cord Dys­func­tion, Autism Spec­trum Dis­or­der, Hear­ing Impair­ments, Cere­bral Pal­sy, Pre­ma­tu­ri­ty, Down Syn­drome, Aprax­ia of Speech, Dysarthria, Flu­en­cy dis­or­ders, intel­lec­tu­al dis­abil­i­ties, oth­er Med­ical­ly Frag­ile Chil­dren (i.e. fail­ure to thrive, heart con­cerns, etc) and chil­dren with tra­ch place­ment, in order to improve their abil­i­ty to under­stand and use lan­guage in order to com­mu­ni­cate their wants, needs and ideas.
