About Ensley Graves
|
Lizzy E is a fictional character created by me, Ensley Graves!! I am a young and vibrant speech language pathologist who absolutely enjoys serving children. I recently embarked on my "niche" when playing with "my" kiddos during a therapy session. Singing nursery rhymes in full character!! :) All of this occurred by accident when desperately searching for interesting ways to engage "my" kiddos in therapy. Initially, when meeting a "client" (aka "my kiddos"), my new kiddo would literally just stare as I tried EVERYTHING to get him/her to do something as little as to verbally imitate "vroom" as I floated through the air with a very cool airplane. In most cases, all I would end up with, was a screaming child who could no longer tolerate my tactics. Therefore, leaving me frustrated and discouraged. However, that all changed one day as I led a story time with a group of 3-4 year olds. During story time in the past, I usually spent this time begging them to sit down and pay attention. However, on the day story time changed, I decided to do something I had never done before. I would not only read the book!! I would become the book!! Therefore, before I knew it, I was giving voices and personalities to the characters in the books. Leaving my kids in deep gazes as if they had joined me in the world of these make believe characters!! It was awesome!! I finally had their attention and I finally had a sense of confidence in my craft!! This wonderful life changing experience sparked the creation of Lizzy. Lizzy is a wonderfully crafted young girl who loves to share what she "learns" during her everyday experiences through story and music!! So listen, read, and sing-a-long as we enjoy the life and times of Lizzy E.
