🦉💙💛 RCISD Staff Spotlight: Celebrating Our Speech Team! 💛💙🦉
Today we’re recognizing two incredible members of our Reagan County ISD Special Programs team who help students find their voices—our Speech-Language Pathologist, Shelbi Gunnels, and Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA), Sheyla Rodriguez.
Communication is one of the most important tools a child can have, and these dedicated professionals work every day to help students strengthen their speech, language, social communication, and confidence. From articulation and language development to supporting students with individualized communication needs, their impact reaches far beyond therapy sessions.
Our Speech-Language Pathologist oversees evaluations, develops individualized therapy plans, collaborates with families and staff, and ensures students receive the support they need to succeed. Our SLPA works alongside them to provide direct services, practice skills with students, and help turn goals into real progress each day.
Together, they help students build confidence in the classroom, connect with others, and develop skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. Their patience, compassion, and dedication make a lasting difference for our students, families, and schools.
Thank you for helping our students be heard, understood, and empowered to succeed. We appreciate all that you do for RCISD!
