Speech-Language Services
MSD offers spoken language services by certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). SLP’s provide language assessments, direct student services and consultation services to address IEP goals and objectives. Services are provided in small groups or during one-on-one sessions, either on a pullout basis and/or an inclusion setting, based on the individual needs of each student.
