What Does Speech and Language Therapy in the Schools Look Like?
Speech-Language therapy in the schools is much different than in hospitals or rehabilitation clinics. Although some students may demonstrate difficulties that a Speech-Language Pathologist in a hospital might recommend be treated, the school Speech-Language Pathologist can only work with students when the speech and language difficulties impede the student from participating in the general curriculum for their grade. The Speech-Language Pathologist might work with a student in his or her classroom, or the services may happen out of the classroom. Some services are delivered individually, while others are done in a small group.
