Manigault, Ms. / How does the Speech/Language Pathologist work with children?

Speech-language pathologists combine students' communication goals with academic and social goals by integrating classroom objectives into speech and language activities. Speech-language pathologists help children understand and use basic language concepts related to classroom learning to become good readers and writers and to understand lessons and texts.
Speech-language services may be offered in a variety of ways, depending on the student's needs. Some typical options for service are:

Monitoring or periodically screening the student's speech and language skills;

Collaboration and consulting with parents, teachers, and colleagues about a student's communication and learning;

Classroom-based services; and

Small group or inidividual sessions
