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.

"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. |
