I use this website for ideas to assist with a variety of lessons and to assist with day to day events (using social stories to assist with handling situations, picture schedules, etc....). Many are helpful for all children regardless of diagnosis.

Welcome to my BLOG! I am so excited about the new school year. Periodically I will post information relating to speech/language development and resources. If you'd like to contact me, email is best because I travel between buildings (kurtam@middletownk12.org). I am still learning how to Blog, use hyperlinks, post and speak the technology lingo. The information below will not direct you to the article if you click on it but if you copy it and put it in a new address bar it will direct you to the article.


Below is a brief presentation with regards to the role of a school speech/language specialist.

In order to receive school-based speech/language services there must be a documented negative educational impact. The Parental Rights in Special Education booklet is a user friendly document that makes reading and understanding the New Jersey Special Education Code 6A:14 a little easier. You can read it on-line at http://www.nj.gov/education/specialed/form/prise/prise.pdf.

These handouts were written by Speech/Language Pathologists and Educators and provide strategies and activities to assist with the development of a variety of skills.
