Collin's Speech Teacher, Miss Lorissa

Miss Lorissa is Collin's speech teacher and holds a very special place in our hearts. Collin began going to see her in December of 2009 and has been working with her ever since. She has helped Collin make so much improvement in his speech. When he first started going to work with her he could say a total of about 20 words. Since then, his speech has blossomed. His recent testing has shown that he is right where he should be in all speech areas except for articulation, where he is only slightly behind. Miss Lorissa's hard work made all of this possible. She worked with him several times a month and gave us ideas of things to do at home to help improve his skills. On the days she would come, Collin would wait at the front door looking for her car. He looked forward to her coming and would always give her a hug goodbye. She has done a great job with him and always made everything fun. Now that he is three, he is going to recieve speech therpy at our local elementary school, but we will never forget the progress she enabled him to make.
