Carolyn Hovey-Johnson, a member of HBS's Peace Collaborative Services team, serves as our Speech Language Pathologist. Carolyn consistently attends school meetings to assess, support, and modify speech-related needs. She collaborates closely with classroom teachers, providing observations and suggesting classroom-based interventions. Additionally, she coordinates with Mrs. Stephanie Wales, our HBS speech assistant, to adjust student interventions.
Speech intervention takes various forms, including small group or one-on-one sessions with Mrs. Wales, as well as whole-class teacher instruction. In many early learning classrooms, intervention involves play centers led by teachers and educational assistants, guided by Mrs. Hovey-Johnson
