Mt. Harmony Speech and Language

My placement at Mt. Harmony to work with and observe the school's SLP (Speech and Language pathologist), Mrs. Brudish, was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life! I already had an idea that I wanted to be a SLP but I wasn't sure field I would be more interested in working later in life. I was surprised when I was placed in the school system but wouldn't change a thing looking back on it. I worked with children who had speech impediments, language deficiencies, and some tht couldn't pronounce certain letters of the alphabet. When I first started going, I only observed how Mrs. Brudish would work with the kids and what strategies would help them all individually. Towards the end I did start to sit in on exams and help Mrs. Brudish teach thre students new information. I also got the opportunity to sit in on multiple IEP meetings and really experience what is discussed.

I didn't just simply perform tasks and observe, I did take away a lot of new information about Speech Pathology as a major too and about the various job opportunities that I could receive simply from receiving this degree. Mrs. Brudish supplied a few packets of information going more in depth about being an SLP, not just in the school system but also in a more medical setting, which assisted me a lot in deciding what I want to pursue in the future after undergraduate and graduate school. This program was VERY helpful and enjoyable to be a part of at the same time, I can honestly say that this Mentorship Program has 100% reassured me that I truly want to pursue Speech Pathology.
