 Communication is essential for students to be

successful in school.

Professional
Philosophy

Each and every student can be taught to communicate

functionally within the schools and their everyday life.
Each student may need intervention provided to them
in different ways according to their strengths and
challenges in order to be successful.

Goal 1:
I will collaborate with
classroom teachers by using
materials (e.g., vocabulary,
reading passages, and books)
that coincide with grade level
work that students are
currently working on in their
general education classrooms .
(InTASC 10-Leadership &
Collaboration, ASHA V-B)

Goal 2:
I will use different measures of
assessment (e.g., data
collection, informal
observations, and
standardized tests) to develop
goals based on the students
challenges to add to the IEP.
(InTASC 6-Assessment, ASHA V-B)

Goal 3:
I will select materials for each
students intervention
session according to how
they learn, their
developmental level, and
their strengths and
challenges, as well as
continuously modify
intervention plans, strategies,
and materials as needed to
meet the students needs.

involve movement or
provide students with
options of sitting on the

Knowledge
Modified the
representation of material
to students (e.g, usage

InTASC Standard 5:

students curriculum that
related to current issues to
aid in understanding

Professional Responsibility
InTASC Standard 9:
Professional Learning and
Ethical Practice
Researching evidence
based practice for
intervention and
collaborating with my
supervisor

evidence based
technique to target
velopharyngeal
insufficiency

 I will collaborate with other professionals (e.g., classroom teachers,

special education teachers, OT, PT, etc.) and parents/caregivers on a
weekly basis through a variety of correspondences (e.g., google
document, email, letters) to meet the needs of the student across a
variety of settings.
(InTASC 3 & 10, ASHA V-B: Intervention A, Interaction and Personal Qualities B)

Updated Goals

At the high school level, I will establish and develop goals to teach
students skills in order to be successful based on their post-secondary
transition plan.
(InTASC 6 & 7, ASHA V-B: Evaluation C, E, F Intervention A)

When appropriate, I will provide intervention that incorporates multiple

modalities (e.g., auditory, written, visual, tactile) for learning that will aid
in student success.
