CESA 6 offers school districts an opportunity to contract for Speech and Language Itinerant Services. Speech/Language Pathologists in the schools work with students from ages 3 through 21 who may exhibit deficits in one or more of the following areas:
| • |
Articulation |
| • |
Phonological processes |
| • |
Fluency |
| • |
Voice production |
| • |
Receptive |
| • |
Expressive language |
When a student's speech/language functioning appears to affect his/her educational performance/development, a school SLP should be contacted. The SLP may conduct a screening and/or provide the student's teacher and/or parent/caregiver with intervention strategies/materials/modifications they can use with the student in the classroom or home environment. If, following a reasonable period of time, the student continues to display SL deficits that interfere with educational progress, a referral for a special education evaluation may be initiated.
