Welcome to the Speech and Language Program at John Adams Academy!

I am looking forward to working with John Adams Academy El Dorado Hills Campus and Online Program during the 2022-2023 school year.   Alejandra Montelongo and I will work as a team.  I have over 20 years of experience, and I continuously work to help my scholars meet their maximum potential for progress.  I am dedicated to identifying the unique needs of my scholars, and I develop differentiated strategies to meet the individual needs of each scholar.  I plan to collaborate with administrators, teachers, staff members, and parents to facilitate increasing the scholars’ speech and language skills and to help the scholars make good progress toward meeting their IEP goals. I will contact teachers and parents to update IEP paperwork when the IEP paperwork is due. I will also attach a few handouts with strategies to increase speech sound production.   Please feel free to contact me at my email address [email protected] with questions.  I look forward to working with you!

Thank you,
