Speech Sound Disorders

Intensified motor speech + articulation + phonological instruction for students with speech disorders or who may be at risk
​
About these Groups:
​
Our specialized weekly classes are limited to four students and are prescriptive by design. Content is compatible with what students are learning in their classroom and delivered through intensive small group instruction.
We build skills gradually by introducing concepts first in isolation and then by integrating them with other skills. This systematic approach provides students opportunities to practice and receive clear corrective feedback.
This class will strengthen:
-
Speech Sound Production
-
Overall Intelligibility
-
Phonemic Awareness
-
Ability to express thoughts and ideas successfully
-
Decrease frustration
All of these areas will be explicitly taught using multisensory techniques.

​
This group works on executive function skills. These skills help our brains stay on task, filter distractions, and control impulses, so that we can manage daily activities. Children use executive function skills to regulate emotions in daily scenarios, problem solve when given a difficult task, start and complete home and school activities.
FOCUS:
-
Staying in control of emotions
-
Staying focused
-
Resisting impulses
-
Working memory
-
Solving problems independently
-
Being flexible
