Welcome to Speech Language Therapy 2022-2023 School Year

 
This is my 14th year working in the North Bergen School District as a Speech-Language Specialist.  I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology and business from Stern College and my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from New York Medical College.
 
I'm looking forward to meeting my new Franklin Students and reconnecting with my old students again. 
 
In order for your child to succeed in school, it is important for your child to have a robust vocabulary. You can play a role in helping your child learn new words. Here is a list of strategies you can use at home to expand your child’s vocabulary:
 
1. Read to your child daily
2. Provide a kid-friendly definition of the new word
3. Introduce the child to the newly learned vocabulary multiple times 
4. Take your child to new places and expose him/her to different ideas. Visit your local zoo or the nearest museum and have your child describe the various animals and exhibits that he/she sees. Take your child along with you as you run off to the bank, the grocery store, or the post office, and see what new words you can discover.
