Speech Language Pathologist
CurrentA 15-week internship at St. David's Harman Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, supervised by Tim Deyoung M.S., CCC-SLP, providing rehab services in Autism Day Treatment, with a population of predominantly East African preschool-age children, focusing on prelinguistic communication in child-led relationship-based therapy with aspects of DIR/Floortime. Outside of ADT, I assist with outpatient speech therapy services involving AAC use, Expressive/Receptive Communication, Social Aspects of Communication, Articulation, and Natural Language Acquisition. The population for outpatient services is similar to that of ADT, with the addition of clients who are also a part of the Family Place program at the Harman Center, which is a mental health day treatment and therapeutic preschool for children ages two through six struggling to manage their emotions and behaviors at home and/or within their childcare or school setting.
