Speech and Language
Communication is the process of
exchanging information and ideas through verbal and nonverbal means
and involves both a
speaker and a listener. Our role at the Kennedy
School is to remediate communication problems within the educational
environment. This
requires the identification, assessment, evaluation
and the planning of intervention for students with speech,
language
and related impairments and disabilities.
Intervention strategies
reflect a student's changing developmental and language needs and are
consistent with
current research and practice. The speech and language
profession is dynamic and evolving. New areas of intervention
are
considered if they are based on valid and reliable scientific
research and technological developments.
