Speech Pathology Services
Therapists work to identify students with speech, language and hearing disorders. A screening program begins in kindergarten to detect and help students in need of therapy. A therapist works with the student, as well as the teacher and the parent, in order to encourage use of newly formed speech habits.
If a student has not identified with a disorder, a parent may request a screening by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) at the child's school. A form, called Permission to Review , may be signed by the parent and forwarded to the school's SLP.
