Meet the New Speech Language Pathologist: Jenna Crull

Jenna Crull joins MCS this year as our new Speech Language Pathologist!

Jenna is originally from Moravia, a small town in the Syracuse area.  She went on to pursue her Bachelor’s Degree at SUNY Cortland, majoring in Communication Disorders and Sciences and minoring in Psychology (with a focus on Individuals with Disabilities.) She went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Education in Communications Disorders and Sciences from College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. 

“My work is orchestrated chaos with a deep sense of purpose,” Ms. Crull said. “On a more serious note, my role offers me the remarkable opportunity to enhance the articulation and language abilities of today’s young minds. My work’s impact extends beyond individual students, but also touches the lives of those supporting these children.” 

Her speech therapy sessions reveal a world of ‘Pop the Pirate,’ arts and crafts, and a variety of activities for students.

“Research shows that skills practiced within a meaningful and enjoyable context tend to exhibit greater success in generalization and carryover,” Jenna explained. “Hence, speech therapy for us often resembles play, strategically designed to foster moments of learning and practice. As these skills grow stronger, so does the confidence of the young learners, which, in turn, facilitates their progress across various facets of their lives, including academics, social interactions, and personal development.”
