Why do schools have Speech Language Pathologists?
School systems employ SLPs because language and learning go hand in hand. SLPs in the school setting typically address language-based learning difficulties. Students may have difficulties understanding their teacher’s directions, letting the teacher know what have learned with writing or talking, remembering vocabulary, interacting with peers, reading, or speaking clearly. Many SLPs are also trained and dually certified in reading instruction, because reading is a language-based system.
