Testimonials

What Families and Community Partners Are Saying

“We had Jenna Howden, Speech & Language Pathologist, come and do a presentation for the Educational Assistants at our school. The day was balanced to provide theory and practice. She went over the common errors children have, gave us a binder and explained how to go about setting up a speech and language therapy session. The presentation was very well organized, and most of all she made it fun!  She provided hands on examples and games with demonstrations. We also used SLP students in our school to demonstrate and provide therapy. I would highly recommend Jenna!”
