Happy Birthday Laurie!
ESU 16 was honored to host area school-based speech-language pathologists for a two-day orofacial myofunctional training, led by Mary Billings, SLP, from Function Focus Academy (function-focus.com).

A huge thank-you to Mary for generously sharing her expertise and deep knowledge in the field. We’d also like to extend our gratitude to the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation for helping fund this opportunity through an Applegate Grant.
