I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»â€™s SLPD program has provided. I've gained insight into developing advocacy and professional leadership skills, which I plan to use to hopefully enact change and support students with speech-language disorders at the elementary level and beyond. The wealth of knowledge I have obtained, along with the immense support from our program director and the overall SLPD faculty, has been invaluable.â€
