Speech
The speech program provides services to children in the areas of articulation, language, auditory processing, voice, and fluency. The speech-language specialist receives referrals from parents and teachers for children whose speech-language skills negatively impact their academic performance. The speech-language specialist evaluates, determines eligibility for, and provides speech-language therapy. Therapy is provided in 30-minute sessions, usually once or twice per week.
If you believe that your child has a speech or language problem, which negatively affects his/her educational performance, please contact the speech-language pathologist.
Carolyn Lynch, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi, I am Ms. Lynch, the Speech Language Pathologist here at Troy Hills Elementary School.I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Maryland. After graduating I took a number of graduate level classes in both Audiology and Speech Pathology. I decided I wanted to work with children as a Speech Language Pathologist. I received my Master of Science in Communication Disorders in 2000 from William Paterson University. I began my professional career in the public schools in Teaneck district and then came to Parsippany district in 2001, where I have worked for the last 20 years. My goal is that each of my students feel successful and are achieving success independently by the time they are finished with my program.

Kalliopi Kebabjian, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi, I am Ms. Kebabjian, one of the speech therapists at Troy Hills Elementary School! I earned both my masters degree in speech language pathology and bachelor’s degree in special education from Seton Hall University (Go Pirates!). While pursuing my bachelor’s degree, I gained experience in public, private, and specialized schools. I have also had experience in private practice, hospitals, and school settings throughout my graduate program. In my speech room, we work hard to accomplish our speech and language goals, but I also love to keep things as fun as possible! I am excited to be a part of the Troy Hills Elementary School community and work with the students at Troy Hills this year!

Hello, I am Ms. Murray, one of the speech therapists at Troy Hills Elementary. I attended Montclair State University, where I earned my bachelor’s in Linguistics. I then received my second Bachelor's from the University of South Alabama in Speech and Hearing Sciences before receiving my Master’s in Speech Pathology from Seton Hall. I have worked in the public school system for four years and am excited to continue my journey at Troy Hills! I believe in student-centered therapy, as well as making the most out of each and every moment with your student. I love when my students leave the speech room feeling like they had fun and learned something along the way!
