Things I’ve Done

“I have had the opportunity to work with many speech teachers and can testify that Kate is as good as anyone I have ever worked with. She is hard working and arrives early every morning. She has a wonderful sense of humor which makes her enjoyable to visit and work with. She works well with students, many who do not want to graduate from her program because they love her class. She is willing to spend extra time and was a valuable member of our Student Assistant Team. I would like to add that she had more suggestions to help teachers than anyone else on the committee and her ideas were creative and right on point. She is organized and was able to create schedules for her many students that did not disrupt their day or have them miss core subjects. She has excellent technology skills and was always willing to help me when I had questions.
All of these skills and many more do not address what I believe is her number one strength, working with parents. Many parents, especially those who have excellent students, struggle with the idea that their child is going to be placed in a resource class. After her excellent testing I have never see any resource teacher better at presenting results at an Individual Education Plan (IEP). She presents with professional confidence, caring, and a light sense of humor that puts everyone in the room at ease.”

“She is passionate about helping people with complex communication needs. She works easily will all kinds of people and age groups, whether she is working with 1st graders, parents, high schoolers, or professional colleagues. She is a great teacher who approaches teaching opportunities with creativity and heart. She knows how to make things fun, which I firmly believe is an often-undervalued skill.
Kate, in a nutshell, is passionate, creative, personable, and willing to do whatever it takes to help people.”

“Not only is she an incredibly skilled speech language pathologist, she is a passionate advocate for those with disabilities. She has very high expectations for her students, and delivers service of the highest quality. Her organizational skills and creativity are admirable.
I am very impressed with the initiative Kate has demonstrated in the last couple of years. She has developed creative ways of teaching students with very challenging behaviors, making instruction fun
and seamless in such a tireless manner. She is adamant about data collection, and makes quality databased decisions. She never hesitates to develop and provide materials, spending hours upon hours of her own time to do so. She demonstrates solid rapport with her students, always. I know I can count on Kate to deliver the highest quality service and collaboration.”
