Speech Therapy Services

A speech language impairment is a communication disorder, such as stuttering, impaired articulation, a language impairment, or a voice impairment, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. This can be a primary disability or a related service for a student with an IEP (Individual Education Plan). 

Speech Therapists have a broad range of responsibilities:

• Conduct general screenings and diagnostic evaluations of at-risk students

• Provide services on an individual or small-group basis

• Work with and train educational professionals on strategies for mitigating speech and language disorders

• Work with the families of children with speaking problems to ensure treatment occurs both at home and in school

• Work in general and special education classrooms to improve listening, speaking, reading, writing, and learning strategies

• Maintain documentation on students under their care
