Sarah Case-Price, M. S., CCC-SLP, is a speech pathologist and the Director of The Children’s Center for Communication and Development at The University of Southern Mississippi. Sarah has worked as a speech language pathologist in early intervention since 2003. After 7 years as a staff member at The Children’s Center, providing direct services and participating in comprehensive developmental assessments of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with disabilities, Mrs. Case-Price moved into the position of director. She is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Center including fund development and supervision of staff and university students. Sarah also collaborates with school districts throughout Mississippi, the Mississippi Department of Health’s early intervention program, and other agencies serving young children with disabilities.
Mrs. Case-Price has provided many state and regional presentations to organizations such as Mississippi Speech and Hearing Association and participated in The Children’s Center’s annual professional development series. Sarah is a 2001 and 2003 graduate of The University of Southern Mississippi. She has been an active volunteer with United Way of Southeast Mississippi. Sarah is also an active member at Parkway Heights United Methodist Church. A lifelong resident of the Pine Belt, Sarah enjoys reading, exercising, and spending time with her family.
One in five Mississippians is affected by a medical, mental, or psychological disability- but those diagnoses don't always come with how-to guides or a clear path to community networks. That's why the Person First Special Needs Expo seeks to connect individuals in the Pinebelt to the organizations that support and assist a wide variety of special needs.
Join us for the Pinebelt's first special needs expo on Saturday, August 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pearl River Community College's Multipurpose Room. Admission is free to the public!
