At Indese, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in school and life.
That’s why we’re proud to incorporate speech-language pathologists (SLPs) into our team of educational professionals (part of our team consists of the parents/caregivers and educational professionals, i.e., teacher(s), special educators, BCBA, RBT).
SLPs are essential in helping children develop the communication skills they need to succeed.
We work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure every child has the individualized support they need to grow and thrive.
If you suspect your child may have difficulty with spoken or written language, we encourage you to reach out to us.
We’ll work with you to assess your child’s needs and create a plan that will meet their unique needs. Together, we can help your child overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
For preschool students, the SLP may do any or all of the following:
- Gather information about literacy experiences in the home. For example, are there books and other types of reading material around home?
- How frequently does the child see family members writing letters, notes, lists, etc.?
- How often do family members read stories to the child?
- Observe the child during classroom activities.
- Evaluate the child’s ability to understand verbal and written directions and to pay attention to written information on the blackboard, daily plans, etc.
- Look for awareness of print.
- See if the child recognizes familiar signs and logos.
- Watch to see if a child holds a book correctly and turns the pages.
- Determine if the child recognizes and/or writes the name.
- Evaluate whether the child demonstrates pretend writing (writing that resembles letters and numbers).
- See if the child recognizes and/or writes letters.
- Have the child tap or clap out the different syllables in words.
- Evaluate if the child can tell whether two words rhyme, or give a list of words that rhyme with a specified word.
The goal of treatment is to help the child develop functional communication skills that can be used in everyday life.
With early intervention and intensive treatment, many children with communication disorders make significant progress.
