Green Year Round's Speech & Language Program


 Referrals
Kindergartners' hearing skills are screened at the beginning of the school year. Children who do not meet the screening requirements are referred for an audiological evaluation. For children in grades K-5, teachers and parents can refer students at any time when speech and/or language concerns arise.

 Eligibility
North Carolina proposes eligibility guidelines that students should meet before being placed in special education for speech and language impairments. After a speech/language evaluation is completed, the IEP team meets to decide if special education is necessary and if the student meets the eligibility requirements developed by the state.

 Placement
If the IEP team decides that placement in special education is appropriate, the student can be seen directly by the speech-language pathologist. Consultation with the classroom teacher and/or special education teacher is also an option. 

Homework
Each student seen directly in the speech/language program has his or her own "speech folder". Homework will be placed in the folder. Please return homework in this folder on the next scheduled speech class. Feel free to send notes or questions in the folder.
