Dear Parents,
I have begun to see students with IEPs for speech and language services. Many of the speech/language students at Prairieview will receive a Speech pocket for their binders and be expected to bring their binder to therapy sessions. Children who have IEP goals for improving articulation, grammar, or increasing speech fluency will often be assigned activities to practice at home. These students benefit from frequent repetition and reinforcement of target skills that may not be available in their regular education setting. The activities are designed to provide additional practice opportunities outside of the Speech room. Please check your child's binder each week to see if he (or she) has received any handouts from speech/language group and review it at home with your child. They will also receive a sticker chart to keep in the binder and be given a sticker when homework is completed, signed by a parent, and returned to Speech class. Upon earning five stickers, students may select a reward from our prize box.
Please contact me if you have any questions about speech therapy. I am looking forward to an exciting and successful year.
Sincerely,
Marilyn DeYoung MA. CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist
