Pamela Bass has provided both pam evaluation and remediation services to individuals experiencing difficulty with speech language or learning difficulty for more than 40 years. She is now seeing her second generation of children. Working with both adults and children, she has served as a learning disability evaluator for The Nancy LeFevers Ambrose/Houston Branch of International Dyslexia Society scholarship program. Since 2003, she has been an adjunct instructor for the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, McGovern Medical School. Ms. Bass has provided both learning disability evaluations and follow up support for their medical students. She has presented at local, state and national professional meetings on learning issues related to attention deficit and selective mutism.
Ms. Bass’ client interactions are seasoned by her life experience as a mother and grandmother. Leisure time is spent gardening, hiking and traveling. When possible, the last two are combined in state and national parks. She participates in a monthly book club and enjoys classical music performances. When time is short, Jazzercise, word games, and attempts at learning another language work nicely.
