Here at GIS, we offer a wide variety of speech and language services to meet the needs of our students. Our goal is to help our students improve their speech, language, and communication skills so they can achieve their best -- academically and socially. The speech-language pathologist's role in identifying and addressing students with special needs may include:

• classroom observations and formal evaluations to learn why a student may be struggling in the learning environment
• implementing individual and/or group therapy for students with identified needs
• working with small groups within the classroom
• assisting classroom teachers in meeting the students' needs in the classroom
• collaborating with parents, GIS Special Needs Department, GIS teachers/staff, and outside professionals to provide the best care plan for the individual student

Both elementary and secondary students are served by GIS speech and language therapists in areas such as:

• articulation
• fluency (stuttering)
• language disorder/delay
• auditory and language processing difficulties
• Autism spectrum disorders/social communication
• Apraxia/oral motor difficulties
• annual hearing screenings
• cognitive skills (memory, listening, organization)
