Speech/Language Pathologist
The Speech/Language
Pathologist will be directly responsible to the Coordinator of
Speech/Language. The function of the
Speech/Language Pathologist involves many aspects. The
first of these is to identify those children who exhibit a
communication disorder. This disorder interferes
with their being understood when talking to others. The
SLP then works with these children in not only helping them to express
their unique needs, but to also understand what others are saying to
them. Another function includes giving some basic
ideas to parents and teachers, which may influence their work with
children speech and language skills.
