Elena Palmeri, Osceola County, Florida

“The more I learn about this program, the more excited I am to be on the ground level for implementing it in our classes here in Osceola County. As a Speech/Language Pathologist, I am well aware of the importance of the development of communication skills, which ultimately enables improved behaviors.

“I am confident that all of our children will achieve their own levels of success through the ABC Music & Me program, and this success will further enhance a solid foundation for receiving and developing pre-academic skills.”
