Welcome!
I am the speech-language pathologist for the 3-21 year old population. I am thrilled to be working with preschool through high school students! I work with students on a variety of communication skills including: vocabulary, grammar, social language skills, voice, fluency, and articulation. I also help complete speech/language assessments for the early childhood and middle/high school.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you have about your child's ability to listen or speak by email at jaustin@redwoodareaschools.com as this is the best way to get ahold of me.
During the summer months, I will continue to service students who qualify for summer services. I will be periodically checking my email over the summer months.
I graduated from Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, Minnesota with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology in 2011. I obtained my Masters in Communication Sciences and Disorders from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota in 2014. I also have my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.
I continue to be an advocate for and very interested in continuing my education to more effectively service your child! I am currently certified in Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS) along with PROMPT (a system for providing physical feedback for speech sound production).
I look forward to working with you!
