Born in Chicago, schooled in Indiana, Mrs. Pudetti's first teaching job was in a northern Wisconsin agricultural town with a population of 250.  She was the only speech pathologist and special educator and wore many hats:  home visits, therapy with Kindergartners in a one-room schoolhouse, and classes in language development for teen mothers.  From there she went to Milwaukee, taught in the city schools, and lived downtown with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. 

After moving to Rochester, NY Mrs. Pudetti worked as a speech pathologist at ARC, and a Learning Specialist at RIT before beginning at The Norman Howard School in 1991. Here, she enjoys doing therapy and teaching learning strategies.   She has a husband, 4 children, and 2 cats.
