My name is Elizabeth and I will be your son\daughter's speech-language pathologist for the year at Thomas Prince School. As many of you know, I transitioned into the SLP role at TPS in January of 2017. I am very excited to be back and beginning my second year here at TPS and I hope your families are excited as well.
I start the school year by taking speech-language data to establish summer growth and current baselines. Over the next few weeks I will use this information to modify student groupings as necessary and should have all speech-language services finalized within the next few weeks. Data will also be used to assess your son\daughter's progress throughout the year. During the school year I will be sending home activities for your child to complete or practice. This promotes carry-over and generalization of skills. Five to ten minutes a day is enough! Please return these activities to school in their speech folders weekly. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Email is generally the quickest and most efficient way to get a hold of me. My email is elizabeth_budness@wrsd.net or you can reach me by calling the main line, (978)464-2110. You can always send a note with your child if that is the easiest. I look forward to having a wonderful year! Sincerely, Elizabeth Budness M.S., CCC\SLP |
