My name is Mrs. Ann Barry.  I have lived in MN, AZ and Wisconsin and have been working as a Speech-Language Pathologist since 1991.  I began my career as a preschool, elementary and junior high  School Speech-language Pathologist in Lake Havasu City, AZ.  While there I also worked at the local hospital, covering shifts for the Audiologist and Speech-Pathologist.  I have been employed with the Valders Area School District since 1997, as the Middle and High School Speech-Language Pathologist and since 2020, I have ran the HS PAES Lab.   I have also coached Middle School Forensics and am a Viking Values team member at the Middle School.  I really enjoy working with a wide variety of students, developing positive teacher-student relationships, hearing their stories, and watching them become independent, successful learners.
