Hi, my name is Lauren Sussman and I am the speech-language pathologist (SLP) at Idlewild Elementary school in Charlotte, NC. This is my fifth year of experience as a SLP. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland, in College Park, MD and my Master's Degree from Queens College, in Flushing, NY. I recently relocated with my husband from the NJ/NY area. I worked as a SLP in an all special education school in NYC with children from the preschool age to fifth grade. I am really enjoying working at Idlewild and having the opportunity to work with both the special education classrooms and regular education classrooms. It is wonderful to have the chance to work with students from the preschool age all the way up to fifth grade. I am looking forward to continuing to meet more children and families throughout the year.
