school time speech.
Answers
Explanation:
The Shelton School Speech department was created to meet the needs of students in Early Childhood through 8th grade who would benefit from speech and language therapy. Students initially qualify for speech therapy based on their admissions testing and annual re-evaluation. Therapists offer services in groups of 2 to 4 students twice a week for approximately 30-minute sessions. Groups are matched based on the students’ grade-level and test scores.
In addition to group therapy, the school speech department offers communication skills groups. These groups each meet once a week. Meeting in groups helps to provide natural opportunities for interaction with other students and "on the spot" therapy. Students work on specific skills to help in social settings like: conversation, reading body language, and making friends.
Several times throughout the school year, speech therapists provide lessons within the classrooms in collaboration with the teachers. This ongoing collaboration helps provide a meaningful and cohesive learning experience for the student
