Speech and Language Therapy

Who we are:

• The speech language pathology team consists of speech language pathologists and speech language pathology assistants. 

What we do:

• Your speech language pathologist may provide screening, assessment, intervention and/or consultation for a range of communication needs including articulation, language, voice, stuttering, and non-speaking forms of communication. 

When to consider referral:

• You can discuss a referral to the school speech and language team if you have concerns about a learner’s:
  • Ability to be understood by others
  • Ability to understand instructions and follow directions in the classroom
  • Fluency/stuttering. 
  • Voice quality (hoarse voice)
  • Social communication (using language with friends, in different contexts).

How to Refer:

• Please check in with your teacher or case manager to discuss a referral.

What to expect:

• Service delivery may vary depending on your child’s needs and school resources.
• Speech and language services may include consult/collaboration with the school team, direct individual or small-group therapy as needed.
