Welcome! My name is Mrs. Kate Goodpasture. I am one of the speech/language pathologists at Rankin Elementary. I have been a speech language pathologist for 28 years and I have loved every minute of it! I have a bachelor's degree in Communication from North Carolina State University and a Master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Texas. I am nationally certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and hold a license through the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Speech/Language Pathology and Audiology.
At Rankin Elementary, I currently work with grades PK-2. I support students directly in the context of speech/language therapy and in the completion of screenings and evaluations. I also support students indirectly through teacher consultations, observations, participation on the MTSS team and by completing hearing screenings. In addition to those responsibilities, I screen and evaluate 3-, 4- and 5- year old children who aren't enrolled in school yet but who have been referred to the GCS PK Department.
I would love to hear from you!
You can reach me by phone at: 336-375-2545 or 336-338-7931; by email at: goodpak@gcsnc.com.
I am also accessible through ClassDojo if I am already working with your child.
