WHAT DOES A SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST DO?
An educational speech-language pathologist (SLP) is someone who works with students whose communication skills (speech and/or language) are adversely affecting their academic performance in the general education setting.
The primary communication areas that an educational SLP works to remediate are Articulation, Language, Voice, Stuttering, Autism, or Hearing Impairments.
Parents or teachers may refer a student to the school's SLP.
A student who is working with an SLP will make the most gains in the shortest amount of time if they practice their newly-learned speech and language skills at home with a parent/guardian. Speech and language activities that you can do at home with your child are posted under E-LEARNING AND FUN WEBSITE LINKS. You will also find links to websites discussing speech and language development on the PARENT RESOURCES page listed under the MORE page.
