Speech Sound Development (click link)
In
the school setting, SLP's are responsible for performing a variety of
tasks: evaluation and assessment, treatment (if student is eligible),
teacher/parent consult, screenings (quick, informal assessments when
parents/teachers present concerns), statements of progress, conferences,
occasional hearing screenings, and yearly IEP (Individualized Education
Plan) meetings. The purpose of an IEP meeting is to determine:
-
the strengths and deficits of the child,
-
proper placement in programs,
-
modifications necessary for academic and social success,
-
statements regarding present level of performance,
-
goals, and
-
amount and locations of servicing to be provided
