SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SERVICES

Speech and language services are delivered in variety of ways at the elementary school level.

 
Building Level Service
 
Building level services are speech and language services offered to children with mild speech difficulties. The service can range from once a month or once a week, to twice a week. Sessions are 30 minutes in length. This type of service is not a mandated service and is offered to students on an intervention level. This service is available depending on the number of mandated students there are in the school during the year.

Related speech and language services are provided to students who have gone through the Committee on Special Education and were identified in needing specific speech and language services in order to benefit from the curriculum. Therapy is provided in the areas of articulation/oral motor, pragmatic language, receptive language and expressive language.
