f you are concerned about the speech and language development of your school-age child, please contact your child’s classroom teacher so that a screening referral can be filled out. Once the Speech Language Pathologist at your school receives this referral, she will complete an observation and contact you regarding further testing/therapy. Depending on the type and severity of the speech or language concerns, your child may receive service through RTI (response to intervention), or an evaluation may be opened to determine eligibility for an IEP (individualized education plan).
