Services
District Speech-Language Pathologists provide support for students with a broad range of communication difficulties. Students referred for speech and language services may have communication difficulties in the areas of language development, social language, articulation, fluency, and voice.
At the Kindergarten to Grade 7 levels, support is provided on an itinerant basis and ranges from direct to indirect services. Service may include assessment, individual or group therapy, participation on School-Based Teams/Learning Services Teams, and consultation with teachers, parents, school personnel, and outside agencies, where appropriate.
At the secondary level, service is limited to consultation.
