    SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPY

     

    Welcome to Mrs. Fitch's Website!

    Children can experience speech and language delays for a variety of reasons. If left untreated, children can experience difficulty interacting effectively with others and may struggle in all academic areas. When a child  receives speech-language therapy, he/she may be seen individually or in a small group. Regardless, students work on individual goals to address specific needs. Parents and caregivers can signifcantly impact a child's progress by carrying over the skills being taught during speech therapy sessions.

     

    Speech therapy may address the following areas:

    * Articulation / Phonology

    * Expressive language

    * Receptive language

    * Voice 

    * Fluency (stuttering)sound-letters correspondence

    * Pragmatics (social communication skills)
