Did You Know ... ?!
AJ Preschool supports the whole child, including areas of development in speech, fine & gross motor skills, visual processing, oral motor, sensory processing, social interaction skills, and so much more!
Speech & Language
Pathologist
Mary Jane Baker has been on staff since 1990 as AJ's speech pathologist. Her focus is working with children with speech and language delays and disorders, including articulation and phonology, receptive and expressive language delays, autism spectrum disorders, fluency, voice, and central auditory processing disorders.
​
During a typical school year, Mary Jane screens all of our AJ children in the 3's and 4's classes and younger children by referral. Our AJ Parent Association (PA) covers the cost of the initial screening. Comprehensive evaluations may follow screenings and individual therapy is offered at school. All further therapy payments are negotiated between Mary Jane Baker and the family.
Occupational Therapist
FUNctional Therapy provides a registered, licensed occupational therapist who conducts screenings and offers treatment on-site at AJ Preschool during the school day.
​
This year, we are delighted to partner with Morgan Petersen. Morgan earned her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Western Kentucky University and later completed her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Belmont University, blending her passions for movement, child development, and helping children thrive.
​
Children may be recommended for an initial screening by either their family or their classroom teacher. The AJ Parent Association (PA) generously covers the cost of this initial screening. Any ongoing therapy services are arranged directly between FUNctional Therapy and the family.
