Tell Me Something Good-- Ms. Michelle Windle and Ms. Sabrina Matthews --Page County Public Schools --Speech Language Pathologist / Early Childhood --Michelle-- "She has been with my daughter since. She was 18 months old. She is now 7 in a regular 1st grade class. She was non verbal and never told us how her day was. Now she is saying sentencing and telling us about her day. She has outgrew her class but Mrs. Windle is still a Major help even though she doesn’t have to. She has never left her side. Words will never express how much this lady does for her and other kids. We were blessed to be put in her life." Rebecca Shifflett Michelle and Sabrina " These two ladies right here! They have been working with my son since before he was 3. They came into our life in the middle of developmental delays and an Autism diagnosis. To say they “took him under their wing” would be a complete understatement. They have loved my little guy as if he was their own and have brought the light out in him that we weren’t sure we would see. No one would believe the wonders they have done with him and we are so thankful for them! They have the best communication and make it feel like your child is their only child, but I know that’s far from true…they have many! I will never be able to put into words how blessed we are that these 2 ladies were placed in our lives." --Anonymous Thank you, Ms. Windle and Ms. Matthews, for the difference you make in each child's life. You are appreciated.
