Introducing Marge Dziwulski, M.A., CCC/SLP
Marge Dziwulski is a
speech-language pathologist with a license to practice in North Carolina. She
holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing
Association (1979) and certification in Neurodevelopmental Therapy. Marge
received her Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders from The College of
Saint Rose, in Albany, New York, in 1978. In 1979, she obtained a Master of Arts
in Speech/Language Pathology from Geneseo State University, in Geneseo, New
York.
Throughout her career Marge has worked in a variety of settings such as early
intervention programs, school systems and cerebral palsy centers in Upstate New
York and Boston, MA as a Speech-Language Pathologist. While in these positions
she evaluated and developed treatment programs for at-risk infants, toddlers,
preschool and school-aged children as well as adults presenting with
developmental disabilities and subsequent speech and language difficulties.
Treatment during this time often incorporated designing and implementing high
and low tech dedicated communication devices for individuals that she serviced.
Since moving to North Carolina in the summer of 1991 Marge has focused much of
her attention on understanding the relationship between speech-language and
literacy in individuals with developmental disabilities. In January 1993, she
began working at the Center for Literacy and Disabilities Studies at UNC Chapel
Hill as a research associate collecting data for research studies, doing written
language evaluations and developing treatment programs to increase literacy
skills in individuals with developmental disabilities. She also conducted
several workshops for Wake County Public School System on literacy and
disabilities. Over the past two years she has acted as a consultant to Wake
County Public School staff in making classrooms literacy rich and increasing
literacy skills with students at the high school level presenting with
developmental disabilities and/or reading disabilities.
