School-based Speech Therapy Service Background

Spoken language is not only a tool for communication and learning, but also the foundation of reading and writing. Early identification and timely support for students with speech and language impairment (SLI) will facilitate the enhancement of their speech and language abilities, enabling them to develop communication, learning and social abilities more effectively.

Introduction

The school speech therapist provides comprehensive speech and language assessment; and training for both primary and secondary students. Students that will benefit the most from school-based speech therapy services are students with SLI. There are four common types of SLI amongst school-aged children; articulation problems, language problems, voice problems and fluency problems.
