This is my eleventh year as a member of the Wall Township Child Study Team and my ninth year at the Primary School.  I love working with the preschoolers and staff here as well as being a part of the Child Study Team at West Belmar.  Prior to becoming a Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant, I taught first grade for a number of years in Jersey City.  I have three children who keep me busy when at home.  I love traveling with my family, watching my kids play sports and surf, and spending time with friends.

Felicia Longo, Speech-Language Pathologist 

flongo@wallpublicschools.org

I am one of the Speech and Language Pathologists at Wall Primary School.  I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Stockton University and currently hold my state license as well as an ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence. I have been working in the field since 2013.  Along with providing therapy services at Wall Primary, I have also worked for New Jersey’s Early Intervention System, helping children from birth to age three.  The youngest population is where my heart is, and helping them become effective communicators brings me so much joy.  When I’m not working, you can find me spending time outdoors with my husband, two children, and dog. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s speech and language development, please do not hesitate to reach out!

I am so happy to be returning to Wall Primary School for my 21st year in the role of School Social Worker as part of the Child Study Team. I feel very fortunate to work with such amazing staff and families.  I am looking forward to another rewarding year of watching Wall Township's youngest students learn and grow. I have been employed as the School Social Worker on the Child Study Team at Wall Primary School since September 2004. I have also had the pleasure of working with staff and students at Wall Intermediate School and Central School. I have recently taken on the role of Anti Bullying Specialist at Wall Primary. I participate in Initial Planning meetings at Wall Elementary Schools and collaborate with Early Intervention Services to hold Transition Planning Conferences. When I am not working I enjoy time at the beach and boating with my husband and our two adult children.

I have been a school psychologist at Wall Township Public Schools for 21 years.  I have experience working at Wall Primary School and currently work at both Allenwood Elementary School and Central Elementary School. As a school psychologist, I help students to succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally.  My role is collaborative in nature with educators, parents, and other professionals to provide a supportive learning environment that strengthens connections between home, school, and the community for all students. My training emphasized preparation in mental health and educational interventions, child development, learning, behavior, motivation, curriculum and instruction, assessment, consultation, collaboration, school law, and systems.

Tara Leary, Speech-Language Pathologist 

tleaary@wallpublicschools.org

I am looking forward to a wonderful year helping students develop speech and language skills at Allenwood School.  It is my pleasure to work with our staff and students, also known as the Allenwood Family. I am a graduate of The College of New Jersey with a Master of Arts in Speech Pathology.  I am passionate about helping students both in the speech room and the classroom to achieve their goals.  During my over 25 years in the field, I have learned so much. Some knowledge was gained from pursuing continued education credits, but the most valuable lessons were learned from my talented colleagues and most importantly, the children that I teach. When I am not teaching at Allenwood, you can find me and my family at the beach. We enjoy new health and fitness challenges, traveling, and entertaining our friends and family.

Emily Magrini, Speech-Language Pathologist

I am so happy to be joining the speech and language team at the Wall Township Public Schools. This is my third year working as a school based Speech Language Pathologist. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Speech Language Pathology from Misericordia University. Prior to joining the team at Wall, I worked with preschool students in a public school. I gained valuable knowledge in the area of speech during my time in their classrooms. I am looking forward to bringing that experience to my caseload here. I enjoy using play-based strategies whenever possible with my students. I find that play encourages speech and language development. I will be splitting my time between Allenwood and Old Mill. I was born and raised in Monmouth County and when I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family, shopping, baking, and trying new restaurants and coffee shops with my friends.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! This is my fifth year with Wall Township Public Schools and my second year at West Belmar School. I am so excited to get to know all of the students here at West Belmar School and work on achieving many speech and language goals. It is my pleasure to work alongside our wonderful staff and students in such a positive environment. A little about me... I was fortunate enough to grow up on the Jersey Shore where I spent my summers at the beach. Also, I played soccer all throughout high school and college. I received my Bachelor's degree in Health Science and my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. I am passionate about helping each unique student increase their independence and reach their full potential. When I am not teaching at West Belmar, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, waitressing, going to the gym, traveling, and hanging out with my big black lab, Doc. I look forward to a successful and fulfilling 2025-2026  academic year!
