My name is Emilee Witt and I was born and raised in Appleton.  I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a Bachelor’s degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders.  While there I was a member of the UWSP Sign Language Club and worked for UWSP Residential Living as a Community Advisor.  I obtained my Master of Arts degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Cleveland State University (CSU). While attending CSU I worked as graduate student assistant and involved myself in clinical activities.

 

I have always had a passion to help and care for others.  I look forward to working with and helping children and their families achieve their goals. 

 

I have trained in a level one trauma center working with swallowing and feeding patients, as well as performed and interpreted modified barium swallow studies. I hold certification in The Modified Barium Swallow Study Impairment Profile.  Before coming to TTFKIDS I worked in the school setting servicing children grades 4K-6; this experience has helped me understand IEPs and be able to collaborate with school therapists for the best outcomes of children. I also worked as a hearing aid specialist assessing and treating individuals for hearing aids.  Recently I received training in the Inside Out Sensory SLP course which allows me to assess and treat children with diverse sensory needs.  I have knowledge of PROMPT muscle restructuring, tethered oral tissue identification and the negative impact on speech, Beckman Oral Motor Assessment and Treatment, and dyslexia and phonological awareness difficulties related to language and reading.

 

In my spare time I enjoy traveling, running, playing guitar, spending time with friends and family, boating, skiing, and wakeboarding.  I am extremely excited to be a part of the Therapy Time for K.I.D.S. and look forward to meeting everyone!
