Between 2.3-24.6% of children have speech sound disorders. Preschoolers with difficulty pronouncing words are 2.5x more likely to develop a learning disability in reading. Early intervention helps to mitigate these risks. If you would like to help students develop clearer speech, then this session with a speech-language pathologist is for you. Attendees will come away with resources and tips for teaching commonly mispronounced sounds to support students' ability to share their thoughts, feelings, and knowledge with others.
Target Audience: Elementary Staff, Inclusive Education Teachers, ELL Teachers, LATs
