SPeech and Language
Welcome!
The Mount Horeb School District Speech and Language teams mission is to provide collaborative, high quality, culturally competent speech and language services to qualifying students 3 through 21 that allow them to attain, keep or improve skills and functioning within their least restrictive environment.
A speech or language impairment, as per PI 11.36 (5)(a) of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, means "An impairment of speech or sound production, voice, fluency, or language that significantly affects educational performance or social, emotional, or vocational development." A child is identified as having a speech/language impairment if he/she meets Wisconsin state eligibility criteria in one or more areas of oral communication. Speech/language services are provided to those children who are identified as having both a speech/language impairment and a need for special education. In addition, some children receive speech/language services as a related service if the IEP team determines these services are needed in order for the child to benefit from his/her special education program.
In Mount Horeb we are lucky to have a talented team of Speech and Language providers to help support your child.
