My name is Stacey Mueller, and I have been in Education for 13-years and have taught in a few states and within various Special Education programs. I entered the Education world when moving with the Military proved to be difficult in the career world. I came to the realization while living in Germany that I needed a career that I could essentially move with me. I had always worked with children in some way, Learning Centers, Daycares, babysitting, etc. so why not become a teacher? Now that my husband has retired from the Military, we are in our forever home, our forever state, Alaska. We have three children, one who is in college, one in high school, and one in middle school. I'm currently a RISE (Reaching Independence through Structured Environments) teacher and have been for 5-years now in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District in Wasilla, Alaska. Within my classroom, we use multiple modes of communication (modified ASL, pictures/visuals, tactiles, AAC, gestures, vocalizations). We, the RISE team, seek communication from all our students along with Julia LaHue (SLP), who teaches/supports Language and Communication through a remote/teletherapy platform. My name is Julia LaHue. I am a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD). I have been an SLP for 13 years, and an SLP-A for 6 years. I have worked remotely for a total of 6 years, in person for the rest of the time. I have worked in home health, skilled nursing, rehabilitation centers, clinics, etc. I got my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Houston and my Master's Degree from Western Kentucky University. I have had the immense pleasure to work with Stacey Mueller and her team for the last 5 years. We have worked to help our students develop multiple means of communicating, to grow and adapt with them. ______________________ You can listen to this episode wherever you stream podcasts and at www.3cdigitalmedianetwork.com/telepractice-today-podcast ______________________ Feeling burned out?
