  • Language
  • Voice
  • Fluency or Stuttering
  • Articulation
  • Swallowing , also called Dysphagia

Speech and Language Disorders Can Be Associated With:

  • Hearing loss
  • Cleft Palate
  • Cerebral Palsy and other Motor Problems
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Autism
  • Developmental Delays
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Other Problems

SPLs have many roles in schools. They often, but not limited to, identification students at risk for later problems, participate in assessment of students’ communication skills, conduct evaluate results of comprehensive assessments, develop and implement IEPs, and collaborate with teachers and other professionals. Often, SPLs combine communication goals with academic and social goals. Service delivery can be in the form of monitoring, consultation, direct service in the classroom, and/or direct service outside of the classroom.
