Speech Therapy

Communication is an integral skill that is necessary for success at school. It is essential that students have the ability to convey their wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas. At Crossroads Academy, a premium is placed on ensuring the students receive the appropriate level of services to make this possible. Every effort is made so that each child has the means to express themselves. In order to achieve this goal a total communication system is integrated. This is accomplished through the use of but not limited to:

•  Verbal models
• Gestures
•  Pictures
• Modified sign language
•  Verbal approximations
•  Augmentative/assistive technology
•  Speech

Students participate in individual therapy, group therapy, and infused sessions when appropriate. Consultation and collaboration with teachers/staff is also practiced.
