Welcome to

Speech therapy services are provided to students 3-21 years of age who have been found eligible for special education services and whose IEP identified needs warrant such intervention.
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).Â
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
