*Speech/Language Pathology  services are provided to students that exhibit articulation, language, 
voice or fluency disorders. Students whose speech and / or language disorders interfere with their 
ability to function successfully in the classroom are considered for services. Students from 3 to 21 
years of age can be served.

ARTICULATION

Articulation is the way that sounds are produced in the words that we say. 
Types of disorders include: omissions, substitutions, and distortions of 
sounds in speech.
Children should use these sounds in words by these approximate ages:
3 years:     p, m, h, n, w
4 years:     k, g, d, f, y
6 years:     t, ng, r, l
7 years:     sh, ch, j, th
8 years:     s, z, v, zh
LANGUAGE

Language is the content and structure of our communication. It can include a 
receptive disorder ( how we comprehend language ) and/or an expressive 
disorder ( how we produce language orally ). 

VOICE

A voice disorder is an abnormal production of pitch, intensity, resonation, 
and quality.

FLUENCY

A fluency disorder is a disruption in the normal rhythmic flow of speech 
during communication.
