  3. About Speech and Language LANGUAGE is different from SPEECH! Languageis a system of symbols (words, visual images, gestures) which convey communicative meaning. When a person has trouble understanding others (receptive language), or sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings completely (expressive language), then he or she has a languagedisorder.  Language also includes "pragmatic language" or social skills.  Speech is the verbal means of communicating. Speech consists of the following: Articulation: How speech sounds are made • Children must learn how to produce the “c” sound in order to say “cat” instead of “tat.” Fluency: The rhythm of speech • Hesitations or stuttering can affect fluency Information provided by ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) Click here for more information on typical speech and language development: http://www.asha.org/public/speech/development/chart.htm

  4. What is Speech-Language Support? • Students with deficits in speech-language skills that impact their academic performance may be eligible for speech-language support. • After an evaluation is completed and a student starts in speech, a speech IEP meeting occurs yearly until a student meets all targeted goals. • Progress is reported with each report card

  5. Letter Soup • ER- Evaluation Report: A document completed in order to determine a student’s strengths and needs in the area of speech-language skills. • RR- Re-evaluation Report: A document completed every 3 years in order to determine continued eligibility for services. • IEP- Individualized Education Program: A document that outlines goals for the coming year. • SLP- Speech Language Pathologist. That’s me. 
