Children with documented evidence of a speech and/or language delay will be admitted into our program and provided with intensive individualized speech-language therapy daily. Teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists will work collaboratively to integrate therapy goals into the daily classroom activites. Students will be integrated in an “inclusion” learning environment where all students can benefit from peer modeling and learning.
Students requiring speech-language therapy services will be provided with private one-on-one or small group therapy daily (Monday through Friday) with a speech-langauge pathologist sometime during the course of the regular school day. Your child may qualify for FREE or SUBSIDIZED SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES!
