Senior Therapeutic Assistant
Blue Bird Day Employee Since 2023

Bachelors of Science in Speech Pathology and Audiology,
Western Illinois University

1. My professional goals are to continue to grow and develop professional skills as a therapist.
2. As well as work towards a master’s degree in speech pathology.

I majored in Speech Pathology and Audiology because I knew I wanted to help people. I have always loved being around kids and I think Blue Bird is the perfect environment to put my degree to use and gain more experience.

Blue Bird Day fosters socialization, sensory regulation, and pre-academic learning in children ages 2–7 years in therapeutic rotations that simulate  preschool and kindergarten settings. Our compassionate therapists practice a relationship-based and family-centered approach, provide parent training, and collaborate on goals and individualized intensive treatment plans for your child.

We believe in a collaborative and multi-disciplinary team approach to therapy.  A team of occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, dietitians, developmental therapists, behavioral therapists, physical therapists, and therapeutic assistants are created for each child to ensure child and family are fully supported and the best possible results are achieved.  

Options for individualized, group and virtual therapy sessions are available as well.
