Whitneyslp

I am a 14-year SLP who has worked in an elementary school as well as private clinic and hospital settings. I graduated from Valdosta State University with my B.S. and M.Ed in Communication Disorders. I am ASHA licensed and certified. I work with children with an array of disabilities and strive to keep therapy functional AND fun!

I believe in making learning fun. I have a great, fun-loving relationship with my students and take a personal interest in their school work and home lives. Discipline is a big part of my classroom, but I rarely ever have to "use my teacher voice!" We learn classroom expectations and how to respect each other from day one, and my kids rarely require "reminders!" Usually, a look will do. :)

2010 Valdosta State University Top Graduate Student Teacher Award. Blog (Let's Talk with Whitneyslp) was named in Kidmunicate's Top 75 Speech Pathology Blogs for 2015 ASHA Convention Speaker, 2019

B.S. Communication Sciences and Disorders, Valdosta State University. M.Ed. Communication Sciences and Disorders, Valdosta State University.

I love family, kids, reading, and the beach. I grew up on a cattle farm in South GA. My husband and I were high school sweethearts. We have a golden retriever, a mini aussie doodle, a labradoodle, two human babies, Halle Jane (9), and Easton (5), a cat, and a herd of Angus cows, with a show pig or two making an appearance here or there!
