>> I chose to work with young children
because throughout my career I've worked with birth
through elderly but it's the younger population, the infants
and toddlers where I get more joy
because it's the developmental stages and I'm making an impact
that will last throughout their lives.
I'm Charles Coward, a speech language pathologist and manager
of Connections Therapy Center.
I'm a speech language pathologist
because I love working with children.
I love seeing children grow and change.
And speech language pathology is very important
because everyone has a right or a need to communicate.
Donovan is a wonderful little boy with a bubby personality,
and inside of him there is the ability
to communicate more consistently and I'm just trying to find
out which door I have to unlock in order to open
so that he can communicate effectively
and efficiently every day.
In Donovan's session today, since he's a non-verbal child,
we're working on getting him to consistently use the sign
for please and teaching him the sign for apple.
Very good now let's good for apple.
Good. To see where he came from and what he's doing now
and what he has the potential to do is just remarkable.
In the future, I can see myself working in theater
or film teaching actors ways to improve their articulation
and with more training I can also be a dialect coach
to teach the dialects for character development.
