Speech Notes
-A Note from Your School’s Speech Language Pathologist
Did you know that your school’s speech therapist doesn’t just work on “speech sounds”? A speech language pathologist’s role in the schools is evaluate, diagnose and treat the following areas when shown to impact their functional or academic educational performance in the classroom.
➔ Articulation disorders (correcting sound error productions)
➔ Receptive Language (how well a student understands language, comprehension)➔ Expressive Language (oral expression skills, grammar, sentence structure, writing)➔ Pragmatic Language (how well a student uses language in social situations)
➔ Fluency Skills (stuttering or cluttering)
➔ Voice (phonation, volume, pitch)
Look for upcoming tips on how you can improve speech and language skills in the classroom! If you have any questions about a student please reach out! Rachel Barger, M.S, CCC-SLP rachel.barger@mgsd.k12.nc.us
