About me

Hello!

My name is Skylar and I am currently 21 years old and have grown up in the city of Frisco, Texas a suburb about 30 minutes north of Dallas. I will be a senior at The University of Arkansas in the fall of 2022. I am majoring in communication sciences and disorders with a minor in human development and family sciences. I will be continuing my education with two years of graduate school after completing my bachelor's degree in hopes to be a speech-language pathologist specifically treating children with disabilities. I am very passionate about helping others, caring for animals, and sustaining a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. These things are very important to me. I hope this helps you get to know me better!

During my five-week experience as an intern at a therapy clinic for children, I shadowed different physical, occupational, and speech-language therapists.

I sat in on a multitude of therapy sessions for a variety of different children, including those with disabilities.
I shadowed different therapists and correlated the type of therapy provided in Italy to the therapy I have observed in America.
When at the clinic, I studied the Iamhero virtual reality gaming system for children with ADHD and observed the functionality.
In my spare time, I completed numerous research hours to find other gaming systems that treat ADHD as well.
