Work History

 Originally from Illinois, after I received my Bachelor's degree, I worked for two years as a speech-language paraprofessional in a school with children ages 3 to 13 years old. I was responsible for implementing and carrying out speech and language goals. I teamed with families, teachers, and other staff members to ensure success for these children.
 
  
 

Research

  During my coursework in graduate school, I participated in a study focusing on early literacy in children with Down Syndrome. This study's main focus was geared toward literacy experiences in the home environment.
 
 

Conferences & Workshops Attended
 

  "Picky Eaters vs. Problem Feeders: The SOS Approach to Feeding"
This was a 3-day training conference on the SOS Approach to Feeding.  This is a feeding program that is a non-invasive developmental approach to feeding.  It is designed to assess and address all the factors involved in feeding difficulties.  This approach allows a child to interact with food in a playful, non-stressful way.  It focuses on increasing a child’s comfort level through exploring and learning about the different properties of foods, including texture, smell, taste, and consistency. The SOS approach follows a hierarchy to feeding from tolerating foods in the room, interacting with the food, smelling, touching, tasting, and eventually, eating the food.
