Welcome to Speech!

I am Mrs. Ellison and consider myself blessed to be the Speech-Language Pathologist at Byrd Elementary! I serve students who are in 4K-5th grade, providing therapy to address each child's unique communication needs. 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 and I am very happy to call Byrd Elementary home for the 4th year! 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 on how you can support your child's speech and/or language needs. You are your child's #1 teacher and advocate! 

My office hours at this time are on Friday mornings at 7:15am-8:15am. The quickest way to reach me is via email at hellison@acpsd.net, but you may also call the school at 803-663-4320 and leave a message for me at the front office. I will return your call as soon as possible!
