The parish school is an independent school that serves children of 18 months to 12 years of age that have difficulties in the areas of language, communication, and/or learning. At this school I had the opportunity to observe two classrooms. The age range for the first classroom is 2-3 years of age.

Out of all the sites I observed during this semester, this one was my favorite. At this private school I had the opportunity to see how Speech Language Pathologists conduct an entire class while implementing strategies to help students improve their learning, speech , and language difficulties.

I could hear some of the conversation that the teacher was having with her students but I could not hear very clearly because of the headphones. The volume was all the way up and at the beginning they were working fine but after a couple of minutes, I could not hear as much. Overall this is a great school, with beautiful surrounding areas. The children that attend this school had a very positive attitude during class time and seemed to enjoy every single activity provided by the teachers. The staff members are very welcoming, kind and they show their passion for what they do on a daily basis. Therefore, I would recommend this school to any children of ages 2-12 who have difficulties with language, social skills, feeding and swallowing abilities, cognition, memory and executive functioning
