Welcome to Speech!

This will be my sixth year as a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in Aiken County Public School District. This year I will primarily be serving our littlest learners in the Early Learning and Preschool classrooms at Byrd Elementary and Mossy Creek Elementary. I am blessed to be doing a job that I love!

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Coker College and my Master's Degree from Western Kentucky University. I am nationally certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and hold a license to practice in the state of South Carolina. My clinical experience has included school, hospital, and nursing home settings. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our precious son.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any specific questions about how you can support your child's speech and/or language needs. You are your child's #1 teacher and advocate! 

The quickest way to reach me while I travel between schools, will be via email at hellison@acpsd.net, but you may also call the school at 803-663-4320 (Byrd) or 803-442-6090 (Mossy Creek) and leave a message for me at the front office. I will return your call as soon as possible!
