Module Objectives
A Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) conducts screenings and diagnostic evaluations for school children who have a wide range of mild to severe disabilities in communicating. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), this can include a child's "ability to receive, send, process and comprehend concepts, or verbal, nonverbal, and graphic symbol systems. It may affect one's ability to speak, read, write, process information, interact socially, and so forth."
The SLP then works with children to provide corrective services for their communication related disorders. They may provide services on an individual, small group or classroom basis and may work on listening, speaking, reading, writing and learning strategies in general and special education settings.
