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.
