The SSEC Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) focus on the student’s ability to access the school environment and to participate in the educational program by:
-To provide school-based speech-language therapy which promotes effective communication in everyday routines and activities that are part of the educational program.
-Design and utilize research-based interventions for a broad range of disabilities (fluency disorders, organic pathologies, articulation disorders, phonological disorders, language disorders, literacy disorders, auditory perception, and voice disorders) which might affect their academic performance
-Implement intervention techniques for students who are unable to use speech as a primary method of communication and thus require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods such as sign language and speech generating devices
-Support the development of student communication/social skills through contextual learning experiences
