Speaker: Heather Hyde, Speech Language Pathologist
Heather Hyde: Hi, my name is Heather. I'm a speech language pathologist, working with children, preschool through fifth grade. And I have been working in the school system for 10 years.
Heather Hyde: I think the hardest thing is time and having time for everything. Having time to plan effective therapy and research new therapy for students that are struggling. Having time to provide that therapy, to hold meetings with parents. and then to collaborate with parents and other professionals.
Heather Hyde: The biggest thing that brings me joy is when I see a student who something finally clicked for them and they get it and they're so excited and you can see that joy on their face. Or a student has a communication device and they are using it effectively and they're able to communicate what they want to say. And they have that realization that their voice is being heard and they can use that. It's just, it's such a joy to see that and such an excitement to see, to see that for the students.
