These are all skills that Jennifer Sellz can help with. She is an educational therapist with a background in speech therapy and behavioral intervention. She works with students with and without learning disabilities. Jennifer is currently available to see students after school hours during the week to address executive functioning, reading and writing skills. There are also time slots available earlier in the day to help students that home school.

had a little dog,”
.. “The wheels on the puppy go ’round and
’round,”
.. “The itsy bitsy gorilla went down the
waterspout.”

substitutions.

empty oatmeal canisters and a wooden spoon.

neighborhood public library!

social/emotional, creativity, life skills,
language/vocabulary, music)
