WORK EXPERIENCE

Speech and language assistant

New Bedford public schools - New Bedford, MA

Responsibilities

Provide speech and language therapy to children pre-k to grade 3. Attend IEP meetings for students in therapy.

Follow documented treatment plans or protocols developed by the supervising SLP

Document student, patient, and client performance (e.g., tallying data for the SLP to use; preparing charts,

records, and graphs) and report this information to the supervising SLP.

Program and provide instruction in the use of augmentative and alternative communication devices.

Accomplishments

I have been at this position since January and during that time I have seen an improvement in my students.

I have also received positive feed back from other staff members (teachers) in regards to noted progress in

certain students. I find my job very rewarding and enjoy working with my students. I especially enjoy teaching

students to express themselves with language rather than inappropriate behaviors. We practice social skills

in therapy and that has been a great help to some students that were unable to express their feelings socially

prior to therapy.
