I have had the honor of providing speech and language therapy to the students in Paris ISD for the past five years.  Prior to moving to Paris, I was a special educator for over thirty-nine years at a large school district in North Texas.  I have always worked in the area of special education and have experience in a variety of roles, including speech therapist, educational diagnostician, assistive technology coordinator, early childhood liaison, and homebound coordinator.  My bachelor’s degree is in Speech and Language Therapy and my Master’s degree is in Special Education. 

I am on campus two and one-half days weekly.  My phone number is 903-737-7438, ext. 2117 and my email address is marilynn.patton@parisisd.net

What is Speech Therapy?

A speech or language impairment means a communication disorder, such as stuttering, impaired articulation, a language impairment, or a voice impairment, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance.
