| | The Speech and Language Program at Chapman School is designed to assist children with their communicative needs. Children are referred by parents, staff or through the Student Study Team for evaluation of problems in articulation, language development, auditory skills, speech fluency or vocal production. Evaluations are completed with parent approval, whereupon a meeting with the parent, classroom teacher, speech specialist and principal is scheduled in order to determine the best educational plan for the individual child. With an agreement reached for an appropriate plan (Individualized Educational Program, or IEP), the student can be scheduled for therapy under a variety of service delivery types. For example, students can be seen in the classroom, or pulled from the classroom for brief periods of time so as to participate in therapy activities, or through consultation with staff members to help in children meeting their communicative needs in the classroom. | |
