Meet your speech teacher...

My name is Suzanne Tunningley.  I am a speech-language pathologist for the Linden Community Schools.  I service Central Elementary School, as well as, the high school and select students at the middle school.

I have worked in the Linden District for seven years and have a total of twelve years of school experience.  I have three boys in the Linden District and I am proud to be part of a wonderful school district.

If you are concerned about your child's speech/language development...

If you are concerned about your child's speech/language development, you may call me direct at Central Elementary School.  My direct line is (810) 591-8082.  I will be happy to answer any question that you ma have or provide you with resources to get you the answers that you may need.

These are some of the areas that may be affected in the classroom if your child has a speech/language impairment...

-  Articulation (production of sounds)

-  Listening comprehension (following directions in class)

-  Expressive language (communicating in all settings)

-  Receptive language (reduced vocabulary skills, comprehension skills)

-  Phonemic Awareness (early reading skills)

-  Stuttering (dysfluencies)

-  Voice (harsh or too soft without physiological influences)
