DECATUR

I am the Speech Language Pathologist for the entire District.  

I have been here at Decatur since the Fall of 2015.

I will address difficulties with childrens’ expressive and receptive language; articulation delays; speech dysfluencies; vocal delays, swallowing disorders.

I have worked in Oklahoma for several years.  I have also been a Speech Pathologist for Siloam Springs, and Gentry Public Schools.  

I have worked for the NWA Regional Hospital for 17 years as their Speech Therapist to address swallowing issues; Modified Barium Swallow studies; Vocal strengthening; Cognition delays and other difficulties associated with Mental delays and or difficulties.  And also the Outpatient therapy services as their Speech Pathologist.

I also worked at Siloam Springs Nursing and Rehabilitation for over 15 years addressing Speech issues with the older population.  My youngest patient that I have ever seen was 5 minutes old; my oldest has been 104.  

I am married to my husband Freddy.  We have a combined number of 7 children.  Four girls and three boys.  They are all adults, so we have no childen at home.  

We have 9 grandchildren, 7 girls and 2 boys.  We enjoy them so much!

We have one pet.  Her name is Bootsie and she is a 14 year old Tasmanian Spaniel.

I grow cacti and succulents.  I love to crochet, and be in the outdoors.
