Laura Ryan
Holy Spirit has engaged with Speech Pathology for Schools (SPS) to provide holistic school-based speech pathology support. Laura is an engaging and dynamic speech pathologist who enjoys helping school-aged students to reach their learning potential in the areas of language and literacy. She works collaboratively with students and staff to assess and target individual needs in the areas of oral language and phonological awareness. Laura’s sessions run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and consist of either 1:1 or small-group learning. An LSO is present during the session to further support students with follow-up activities during class time.
