Hi, my name is ...

DeShaunda Pryor Morse.  I am an aspiring Speech Language Pathologist.  I desire to work with autistic children.  I would also like to explore the benefits of utilizing sign language with infants and toddlers in order to foster language development.  I have a love for language and children. I have six years of experience in managing and instructing infant and toddler classrooms. My classroom focus has always been about empowering the little ones with sign language(which helps to reduce meltdowns and frustration) and finding fun ways to incorporate language into each activity.

I am currently in my last semester at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where I am studying to receive my B. A. in English with a concentration in Linguistics.  As I prepare for graduate school, I would like to share my experiences, tips, and resources.  For any one interested in SLP, I hope I can inspire you to shoot for the stars.
