Speech and Language Therapy

A command of language, both expressively and receptively, provides the basis for all forms of communication and is the foundation of education. Students with speech and language difficulties very likely will have difficulties in reading and writing, expressing their feelings and emotions, articulating ideas and needs, and subsequently may have long term learning difficulties. Additionally, these students may also have trouble establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships.

Identified students with specific speech and language needs receive speech and language therapy. Generally, but not always, designated students receive speech and language therapy once or twice a week individually, supplemented with group speech and language activities. Screenings and therapy are provided at both campuses at no cost to parents.
