Show Notes
I’m so excited to bring on a guest who is also one of my best friends. Her name is Amanda Newsome, and she is a wife, mom, and speech-language pathologist. She has been in an elementary setting for ten years. She also runs her business, A Perfect Blend, where she creates beautiful fonts as well as digital and printable resources.
Amanda and I are diving into the disconnect that sometimes happens between GenEd and Special Ed. Amanda has lots of great tips on how to build the relationship between the two teachers in order to best serve our students. We believe that the greatest growth comes when both worlds come together and collaborate throughout the entire school year.
In this episode we discuss:
- How SLP’s can support GenEd teachers and vice versa
- The importance of keeping communication open between teachers all year long in regards to student goals and progress
- Understanding that your special education students are the responsibility of both the GenEd and SPED teacher
- Simple ways that teachers can collaborate virtually
