We are delighted to spotlight Katy S., a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) at Columbus, who recently received an Empowerment Award for exemplifying collaboration in her work. A little more about Katy: Katy serves children aged 3-14, finding particular joy in working with neurodiverse students and supporting those with alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) needs. She believes that speech therapy is only one aspect of the support for many children at her school. To provide comprehensive care, Katy collaborates closely with educators, related service providers, and school social workers, ensuring that students receive the support they need both at school and at home. Congratulations on your award, Katy! We appreciate and thank you for your passion in making a difference in the lives of students.

As we observe Juneteenth, we celebrate the historic end of slavery in the United States and recognize the importance of this day. June 19, 1865, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marks the announcement of liberation for enslaved people and signifies a crucial milestone in the pursuit of justice and equality. As we honor this significant day, we celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black communities, amplify their voices, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a society where justice and opportunity are accessible to all.
