Ryan Brunner

Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.

"Coming out of graduate school, I was fortunate to be able to work in a school setting for my program's work experience. While there, I worked with several students with language disorders. One particular student was experiencing a sever speech delay and I had the opportunity to work closely with him in his therapy. After ruling out hearing loss of any sort, we implemented a speech therapy program and educated his parents on the importance of reading to him at home and asking him a lot of simple, easy to understand questions."

"Having many years of experience working in an inpatient hospital setting, I have worked with many patients suffering from aphasia due to a stroke or TBI. We have found as a care team that intense speech therapy is most effective for stroke patients while still hospitalized. When these patients show up in our hospital, I prioritize their therapy and set up individual plans based on my initial assessment of the client."

Working with patients that have difficulties pronouncing sounds, have articulation disorders, and stuttering issues are your specialty. Tell the interviewer about a particular patient. Explain their challenge and how you helped them overcome and improve.

"My caseload at my current position is quite low. I'm excited at the opportunity to continue training to gather more educational experience where I will be able to work with patients with a variety of language disorders."
