Nancy visited the Parish School and Carruth Center in Houston in early January, 2019. The trip marked her 10th year consulting with the organizations.

The Parish School has educated children ages 2-12 who have communication delays and learning differences since 1983. Additional supports are provided at Carruth Center, an on-site pediatric therapy clinic. Although Nancy was sad to see Nancy Bewley, head of school at Parish, retire this year, she was happy to meet Mimi Branham, the new director at Carruth. She is bringing her wisdom as an SLP, administrative expertise, and warm personality to the mix.

Nancy always enjoys collaborating with the speech-language pathologists at Carruth and children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) or other speech and language disorders on their caseloads, as well as observing SLPs leading their classrooms at Parish School. Nancy also provided a parent education presentation regarding CAS and her K-SLP methods and participated in a new podcast opportunity.  It was an exhilarating two days of collaboration, learning from each other, and long-lasting friendships.
