A Speech-Language Pathologist works to prevent, assess, diagnose and treat speech, language, social communication, and cognitive-communication disorders in students.  These disorders can include but are not limited to the following:

• the inability to produce certain speech sounds, or cannot make them clearly
• speech rhythm and fluency problems, such as stuttering
• voice quality problems, such as inappropriate pitch or harsh voice
• problems understanding and producing language
• social communication delays, such as following rules for conversation and understanding nonliterate and/or ambiguous language
• cognitive communication impairments, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving disorders

If you have questions and/or concerns about your student's speech & language development, please do not hesitate to reach out either by phone, email or in person.
