Special Education

Approximately half of all speech-language pathologists work with children in school systems. As part of the special education team it is imperative that speech-language pathologists understand the school environment, know about education and, and know how to work with teachers and other special education professionals. The ability to be a member of a student's educational team is critical to that student's success. The goal of speech-language pathology is not to simply help a child overcome a specific speech or language problem, but to effectively use improved communication skills to better learn and to better socially integrate with his or her peers.
