Hello Parents,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First and foremost, I hope that all of you are in the best of health and are safe. I know that this is a very difficult time for all of us, and especially our students who do not have the ability to fully understand what is happening. I miss all of your children very much and am saddened that we cannot continue to make as much progress during this time. However, there are of course greater concerns at hand. The good news is that progress can continue via a home program, and it does not need to be very complicated. Some basic, consistent practice can go a long way! I have attached below a list of basic resources compiled by Dearborn’s SLP team that can help. In the coming days and weeks I will attempt to post resources more specific to the populations I work with. It is diverse, and each student has his or her own needs, but I will do my best to provide things that cover all needs. Please feel free to email me at any time for more specific guidance and we can collaborate on a good solid home program that will be fun, beneficial for the student, and not too time consuming. Please be safe and take care! I hope to see all of you again soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
