         My name is DeShawn M. Ewing.  I have been a school Speech/Language Pathologist since 1989 and Teacher of the Blind and Visually Impaired since 1991. 

           I graduated from Tennessee State University with a B.S. Degree in Speech

Pathology & Audiology in 1989 and with a M.Ed. Degree in Speech/Language Pathology in 1996.  I also graduated from Vanderbilt University with a M.Ed. Degree in Visual Impairments.

           I have been employed with the Marshall County School System since graduating from college and briefly worked for Tennessee Infant Parent Services as a Parent

Advisor.

           I am a member of the American Speech & Hearing Association, Marshall County Education Association, the Tennessee Education Association ,the Marshall County Drug & Safety Task Force, and the Education Committee for Marshall County Three Star Task Force.

           To date, school speech/language pathologists are not subject to highly qualified status.  However, I do hold a CCC—Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech & Hearing Association.  This certificate enables me to practice my profession in a private, medical, or school setting.  I also have a Tennessee Teacher’s License and

Career Ladder 1 status.
