Bio
My name is Dana Hawkins and I am the Speech Language Therapist for Whitley Elementary School. I also provide speech therapy services for the students at Vigor High School. I have been working in the educational system for 26 years. I graduated from the University of Montevallo in May of 1994 with a degree in Communication Science Disorders. I have been married to my college sweetheart for 26 years. We have 2 daughters, Rileigh and Lindsey. Our daughters attend the University of South Alabama. - Go Jags! During my 26 year career I have worked for the Mobile County Public School System and a neighboring local city school system. I have worked as a school based speech therapist serving Prek-12th grade students for most of my career. I have experience with a wide variety of age groups and areas of exceptionality. I have also worked as an itinerant preschool speech therapist, an early intervention special instructor and an inclusive PreK teacher. I am trained in the High Scope curriculum, Leader in Me Program and the Phonics First Program. When I am not at school you may find me by my pool or on the beach with a book in my hand. I also enjoy riding my bike, going for walks with my friends in my neighborhood and watching Netflix. I look forward to working with your child this year. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns about your child's communication skills.
