About Ava

Hello! My name is Ava M. and I am recent Ohio University graduate earning a bachelor in Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders and a Psychology minor. I am studying to become a speech therapist in an elementary school setting! A little about me: I have experience teaching swim lessons water safety skills for children with disabilities apart of an organization called Safe Swim for All. For 3 years, I worked at the North Fayette Summer Camp with an Assistant Group Supervisor position. This summer, I will interned at the Watson Institute, a school for students with disabilities, as an Instructional Aide for their extended school year program. I fostered positive relationships with students to increase engagement and open communication using core word vocabulary and high and low tech AAC devices. I pride myself on my kind-hearted demeanor and my ability to make children feel safe and understood. I consider myself fully capable of caring for children and would love to help!
