In SPEECH THERAPY we work mainly on improving...

Articulation Skills- the precision of pronunciation of speech phonemes (Sounds)!

Phonological Error Patterns - work on correcting sound production in groups of similar production features.

Fluency Skills - (stuttering) The rhythm and flow of spoken utterances!

Voice Skills- The pitch and quality of vocal output!

In LANGUAGE THERAPY we work on improving...

1.Receptive Language- receiving (understanding) what is spoken to you.                                                             

2. Expressive Language- formulating thoughts and speaking them verbally.

These areas mostly include:                                   

*Vocabulary- knowledge, and use of spoken words!

 *Syntax -  Speaking using correct words in the correct order and a combination of words in phrases and sentences.                                                           

*Morphology- Speaking using correct word endings to convey meaning. Word beginnings, Prefixes, also convey meaning!                                                   

*Listening Comprehension- Listening to spoken language and responding appropriately as in answering wh questions or following directions or understanding figurative language.

3. Pragmatic Language - engaging using language socially with peers.  

4. Hearing - teaching students to make optimal use of the hearing they have (when there is a loss), sign language, or use of AAC devices may also be used.

                        AND WE HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!!
