Kim Sutherland, District Speech/Language Diagnostician

My name is Kim Sutherland.  I have been working as a Speech/Language Pathologist for 26 years and 21 of those years in the Grandview School District.  I have worked all over the district.  I spent the first 5 years at Meadowmere Elementary and Grandview High School, then 11 years in Early Childhood.  Currently I am the district speech/language diagnostician and travel to all of the schools testing students with speech and/or language concerns.  I have loved these past 5 years as the diagnostician because it allows me to see students and families from all over the district.  I have watched kids grow and develop over the years which has really been rewarding.  I have a website with a blog that is attached to this page.  Please feel free to check it out, ask me questions, or make comments.  My goal is to make all families feel comfortable with the special education process specifically with their child's speech and language development.
