articulation and phonology (how students make sounds)
phonological skills and reading acquisition
receptive language skills (understanding directions, questions, vocabulary, written text, etc.)
expressive language (combining words to form sentences and conversation, vocabulary, being able to interact in an environment and express ideas, thoughts, wants and needs)
fluency (stuttering)
voice
social skills
cognitive linguistic skills (comparing, contrasting, problem solving, categorization, etc.)
