How does the SLP decide who needs to be in speech?
A teacher or parent may notice that a student’s talking, listening, or understanding of their school work is different from the rest of the class and ask the SLP to give some tests that compare what that student is doing to what other kids his age are doing. If the student is a lot different from his classmates, then the teacher, parents, and SLP meet together to decide if coming to speech class is a good idea.
