Explainer: Speech-Language Pathology Kindergarten Screening
In January of this year, SD8 Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) began their annual kindergarten speech-language screenings.
The screenings give staff an opportunity to meet with each kindergarten student to observe their speech and language skills, listening for developmentally appropriate speech sound acquisition, knowledge of basic concepts, ability to answer questions and describe with details, as well as any issues with voice quality and fluency.
