They may miss other people’s non-verbal cues\, misread other’s intentions\, or fail to think about their communication partner’s perspective. Developing social competence takes direct teaching and practice. Resilience and social competence have been identified as the two critical abilities a child needs to be successful as an adult. However\, many of our children lack resilience due to their communication delays and learning differences. As a result\, they struggle to persist during difficult tasks\, maintain positive self-esteem and problem solve as they interact with others\, learn new ideas and show their academic knowledge. \nDue to limited seating\, please RSVP at the link below.\n\nStephanie Landis\, MS\, CCC-SLP\, Lead Elementary Speech-Language Pathologist\nStephanie is the lead elementary speech-language pathologist at The Parish School and co-host of Unbabbled.

Unfortunately\, that is not the case and every child is unique and special\, which can make figuring out which parenting technique is the best approach near impossible at times. Or parents are asked to teach their child skills to manage feelings that they struggle to use themselves.

Parish taught him patience\, flexibility along with the ability to communicate and self advocate. His favorite memories of Parish include meeting lifelong friends and Adventure Play. He transitioned out of Parish at 12 years old to attend Memorial Middle School then Stratford High School\, where he graduated in 2025. He is currently a freshman at the University of St. Thomas\, aspiring to work as an aircraft marshaller in the future.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Allie Lange\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Allie Lange is a Houston native and Parish alumna.
