Children’s speech and language skills develop at different rates, and there is a broad range of normal. One child may have perfect articulation by age three, while another child may still have sound errors in kindergarten. If you have concerns about your child’s speech or language development, speak to your child’s teacher about requesting an observation by the speech pathologist.  

Frequency of therapy varies based on a child’s needs.  Most students are seen 1-2 times per week. Sessions range from a half period to a full period in length and are scheduled during non-academic classes. In some instances, a child’s needs may exceed what can be addressed within the school setting. In those cases, the speech pathologist will provide resources for outside intervention.

Some students are seen in a small group and others are seen individually.  Students are only grouped if the students’ needs and therapy goals are similar and the students are close in age.  

Speech-language assessments and therapy are provided for students in Junior Kindergarten - 8th Level at no additional cost.
