Speech and  Language Services

What are Speech and Language Services? 

Developing age-appropriate speech and language skills is crucial for a student’s learning, as well as their social, emotional, and academic growth. Students need to understand language, communicate their thoughts and opinions clearly, engage meaningfully with peers and adults, and speak in a way that is easily understood by others. 

The Woodbridge School District provides speech and language services to students ages 3-21 who demonstrate a need to improve their speech and language skills in articulation, language, fluency, or voice disorder in order to achieve academic success. 

How are students referred for Speech and Language Services?

Parents or classroom teachers can refer students for speech and language services if they have concerns about a student’s speech and language proficiency. These referrals can be part of a Child Study Team Evaluation or made independently. The primary goal of these services is to support students in developing the speech and language skills essential for strong interpersonal relationships and academic success.
