Dear Parent /Guardian:

My Name is Tiffany Gentry; I will be your child's Speech Therapist during the upcoming school year. This is my first year being a speech therapist in the McDowell County School System. I am a graduate of Marshall University with a Master's Degree in Communication Disorders. While at Marshall I gained experience through labs and clinical sessions that assisted in my understanding of individuals who have communication disorders. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports and being active within the community.

In the upcoming year your child will be developing skills of organization, through phonological and phonemic sessions. In a phonological session we select a letter and focus on words that have similar letter sounds. In phonemic sessions we will stress sound knowledge. The first curricular unit is based on rhyming pairs. If at any time during the year you would like to visit and monitor your child's development please contact me. I will also be working collaboratively with other teachers to insure that your child's needs are being met.

If you have any questions during the year feel free to contact me at any time. The contact information is as follows:
