Speech-language therapy services are provided by a licensed speech-language pathologist and/or speech-language pathologist assistant.  Individual services are based on the Individual Education Plan determined by the evaluation and the IEP process.

 

Speech-Language Pathology addresses many domains; however, not all are addressed in the school setting.  School-based Speech-Language Pathology addresses the following areas of functional/academic communication:

·        Articulation – speech sounds and their disorders

·        Language – receptive language (what is understood, input) and expressive language (what is expressed, output)

·        Fluency – refers to stuttering (sound, word repetitions, blocks, etc.)

·        Pragmatics – social language used with peers, teachers and others

·        Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC) – speech devices and their use for communication

Speech-Language Pathology includes additional domains, but these are less commonly addressed in the school setting.

Educational Diagnosticians

Diagnosticians provide assessment services to students referred for special education in the form of a Full Individual Evaluation.   Also, evaluations are completed every three years to update evaluation information.  These evaluations provide information in the form of data to assist teachers in the classroom both instructionally and behaviorally.  Diagnosticians also schedule and participate in annual review meetings required for special education students.   Diagnosticians serve as a resource for parents, students, and campus personnel.
