Eileen Gilroy and Jill Toftegaard
Eileen Gilroy and Jill Toftegaard, Communication Disorders and Sciences Department, were recently awarded a $100 mini grant from the Central New York Speech Language and Hearing Association (CNYSLHA). The grant is in honor of a past president for CNYSLHA, Sandy Ladd, who passed away in July 2014. As an advocate for individuals with disabilities, Ladd often used creative cooking and craft projects to work on many speech, language and communication goals in small and large groups, often collaboratively with other teachers or staff. CNYSLHA honors her memory by offering mini grants to enable projects or activities that members would typically have to pay for out of pocket.
The funds received will be used for a spring planting project with the clients of Liberty Resources Center for Brain Injury and Rehabilitation in Cortland, N.Y. Communication disorders and sciences graduate students have provided speech/language therapy in social groups throughout this academic year. For this project, the graduate students will work with individuals from the center in planning, cultivating and maintaining a community garden.
