Special education school, lesson #4: Speech therapy

Monday September 11, 2006

Parenting Special Needs class is back in session, with instruction each school day from now to the end of the month on special education words and concepts you need to be familiar with. At each week's end, there will be a quiz on material covered; check last week's to see what you're in for. Today's topic is speech therapy, or speech-language pathology, or speech class, or just plain speech, or whatever your district and your school and your therapist and your child happens to call it. What does speech therapy involve, and what sort of things do therapists do to help? Open your Web browsers to our definition of speech therapy and begin reading. Then catch up with last week's course work through the links below.
