SPEECH NEWS
2018-2019
Welcome
Hello,
Welcome to BSE speech news for kindergarten through 4th grade! My name is Colleen Carey and I have been the speech language pathologist at BSE K-4 since 2006. I am looking forward to working with ALL of the children at BSE this year and especially my speech friends. As always, if you ever have a question or concern, please reach out to me. ALL questions are important so please contact me via phone or email.

What's New in Speech
Speech Services
Speech services have started! The schedule is not finalized yet and there will be changes as we go through the year. Students are continually added or dismissed and this may cause changes in the schedule. If you ever have questions about services and the schedule, please call or send me an email. I keep an attendance sheet every time I see the students. If services are missed, I will schedule a time with the classroom teacher to make up the time.
Classrooms
This year I am changing my schedule to be more available in the classrooms. I am going to push into the classrooms more and limit the amount of pull out. There will be times I will need to pull out into the hallway or classroom to do quick articulation drills or to teach new strategies. I am looking forward to working in the classrooms! I believe this change will help the students carryover the skills they learn in speech and language class.
Homework
Speech Homework is not sent home unless parents request it. Homework can be helpful with carryover but it can also be a harmful if students are practicing articulation sounds the wrong way. I will attach homework ideas and therapy strategies to this smore (see below) and let me know if you have any questions.
