Our Early Childhood Special Education program provides speech and language services to students who qualify during the IEP process. The services include, but are not limited to, the following:
- articulation
- receptive language
- expressive language
- fluency
- voice
- swallowing
Children qualify for speech-language services through the evaluation process and may qualify for a variety of service models. At Columbia Public Schools, we are able to provide services in a variety of ways depending on the qualifications and needs of individual students. Some therapists travel to homes, daycare centers, and preschools within the community, some provide itinerant services at a district location, and others are center based and provide services within specially designed early childhood education classrooms. The speech language pathologists are able to incorporate a variety of communication modalities including but not limited to: picture exchange, visual communication boards, speech output device, and sign language.
