WELCOME TO RCSCSD'S
SPEECH-LANGUAGE WEBPAGE

How speech-language therapy is provided to our students:

Depending on each student's strengths, needs, learning level, age.....he/she may receive therapy within the classroom (i.e., push in services) or in one-to-one and/or a small group setting (i.e., pull out services).  Push-in services are used when the Speech Language Therapist goes into the classroom to provide support to students and teachers, identify learning problems, and develop strategies for success within the classroom.  Pull-out services are the traditional small group instruction within the privacy of the speech therapy room. Pull-out services are used to provide extra help and/or address specific needs such as voice, fluency or articulation in a private environment.  Speech Language Therapists are also available to provide consultant services and information to teaching staff regarding past learning problems, compensatory strategies (e.g., use of listening aids, FM systems, etc.) or medical conditions/medications that can adversely affect communication.

If you are concerned that your child may have a communication problem, please contact your child's teacher.  For additional information on special education, click on this link: http://www.rcscsd.org/Progs.Services/specialservices.html
