SPEECH/LANGUAGE SERVICES
Non -public school services has provided speech/language services since the mid 1970s. I have been assigned to St. Joseph School in Downingtown since 1987. Services include speech/language screenings, diagnostic testing, speech/language therapy, some teacher and parent inservicing.
Speech and Language problems can include but not be limited to the following descriptions:

LANGUAGE: difficulties with language can be pervasive throughout your child's school career. Language encompasses vocabulary development, the use of our rules for speaking, the understanding of concepts, following directions, memory skills, using language to communicate with others. It can affect learning facts, developing reading skills, communicating through speaking or writing. For more information about this language difficulty click on one of these web sites.
