My Speech Tools

My name is Lisa Erwin. I have been a licensed Speech Language Pathologist since 1992. I am currently employed as a full-time school-based SLP but also work part time as a pediatric home health provider. I've worked with adults and children throughout my 30+ years as an SLP. I previously taught special education on a K-5 campus and co-taught in an inclusion classroom. I've also taught in an early childhood classroom. I provide supervision to graduate students and SLP-Assistants. ***I author the blog myspeechtools.com***

I believe every minute with a child, student or client should be purposeful and positive. My instruction is intended to be meaningful, systematic, goal directed, data driven and client centered. I create curriculum inspired resources and collaborate with classroom teachers to help my speech students succeed in the general education curriculum.
