Good communication is essential for success in speaking, thinking, writing, reading and learning. Poor communication skills can interfere with a child’s ability to build relationships and learn at school, home and in the community. Wrightstown Community School District Speech/Language Pathologists (Therapists) provide services to children from 3 to 21 years of age who demonstrate Speech or Language Impairments as defined in State of Wisconsin Department of Instruction Criteria in the areas listed below:
Speech or Sound Production: articulation, phonology or motor speech delay
Language: receptive and/or expressive in the areas of semantics, syntax or pragmatics
Voice: pitch, loudness, quality or resonance
Fluency: stuttering, cluttering or motor speech disorders which impact fluency
Wrightstown School District Speech/Language Pathologists also provide services to students with other Categorical Disabilities who have demonstrated specific needs in speech and/or language.
The role of speech-language pathologist is:
to serve students with identified speech-language disabilities
to evaluate students with whom parents or teachers have a specific speech or language concern
