Private speech and language evaluations are available during after school hours.  Please contact us if you wish to schedule a consultation.

A private language evaluation by our speech and language pathologist is administered if a student with a specific language impairment is enrolled in our school and updated data is not available. The student is provided language therapy with the speech/language pathologist as needed. Recommendations for language remediation for an individual with a specific language impairment are developed. This information is shared with the classroom teachers and recommendations are made. Teachers are made aware of the linguistic and metalinguistic ability levels required for the student to benefit from the daily instruction. Our speech and language therapist is available for assistance with modifications in the classroom.
