The Play Pals Team
Play Pals is a collaborative partnership between the Departments of Communicative Disorders and Special Education and Multiple Abilities. Students training to become speech language pathologists and special educators receive hands-on training in implementing high quality, evidence-based practices with young learners. Play Pals is also supported by students in the School of Music, who provide music therapy sessions with the children twice a week.
Jennifer Morgan Baggett is the Director of Play Pals. She is a speech-language pathology clinical educator and instructor in the Department of Communicative Disorders at The University of Alabama. She began her career in the Tuscaloosa City School system in 2008 where she worked with elementary and middle school students. She transitioned to the University of Alabama Autism Spectrum Disorders Clinic in 2014 to serve on an interdisciplinary diagnostic team and provide speech-language therapy to children with autism. In 2018, Ms. Baggett served as the interim Clinic Director of the UA ASD Clinic and began teaching for the Department of Communicative Disorders.
