Speech and Language services are provided by certified/licenses speech/language pathologists available at each school district in the cooperative. The services of the speech/language pathologist have a direct influence on students. A complete individual speech and language screening and evaluation is conducted in the school district. From that screening, students are identified to be instructed in one or more of the following areas: developmental language; vocabulary; syntax and morphology; expressive language; articulation; fluency; voice; and hearing.
