What are Speech-Langauge Pathologists (SLPs)

Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs) are specialists in identifying, diagnosing, and offering speech-language therapy in schools to children who have communication disorders. Speech therapy services may be offered to any student that qualifies under the eligibility of Speech and Language Impairment or other eligibility that affects communication skills. An SLP in a school district is typically part of the special education team. By: Lymari Segarra, M.S., CCC-SLP
