A little about us. . .

Mrs. Chighizola has worked as a Speech-Language Pathologist at Riverside for 
the past 15 years. I enjoy working with the students and helping them achieve 
language acquisition skills, articulation skills, voice, and fluency skills.
I acquired my undergraduate degree from Nicholls State University in 1992, 
and my Master's degree from Southeastern Louisiana State University in 2000.

Mrs. Acker has worked as a Speech-Language Pathologist at Riverside for the 
past year. She has 17 years of experience as a speech therapist in Texas. She 
attended Southern University-Baton Rouge both undergraduate and graduate 
degrees.  

Mission Statement

We hope to inspire each of our students to gain confidence in who they are 
and to help them with their language and speech needs.
