SLPs work with children whose communication difficulties adversely affect their educational performance.

In the school setting, SLPs work on: Language DisordersVoice DisordersFluency or StutteringArticulation Disorders.

We collaborate with teachers, staff, and families to provide services for our students with IEPs for speech and language needs.

The Resource Specialist Program (RSP) is a program designed to help children who qualify for special education services. The program is designed to give support to children with learning disabilities and give them strategies to help them be successful in their education. The RSP program offers small group instruction to meet the needs of each child’s individual education plan (IEP). Children are given instruction in the least restrictive environment and given intervention based on their IEP goals.
