Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Speech Language Pathologist can make a positive difference in the life of a child who is at risk for a reading disability or that has been identified with a reading disability. Reading is a foundational skill for learning and is essential to all academic skill areas (National Reading Panel, 2000). RTI is giving us SLPs the opportunity to work closely with other professionals to provide our children with more opportunities to overcome their delays. Students with speech and language difficulties often experience reading difficulties. SLP's are well positioned to support students with reading.

Reading is critically important for an individual’s success & children with speech and language deficits are at a higher risk for reading and writing difficulties.

An SLP can find the strengths and weaknesses in your child’s phonological awareness and reading skills and develop a plan tailored to your child’s specific needs. The SLP’s knowledge of language development and literacy is intimately tied to reading development. As a result, SLP has a key role in supporting literacy in the school community in both special and general education. Children with a language delay or difference also pose a risk for literacy deficits as they may have difficulties comprehending what was read, writing their thoughts in a logical manner, and/or reading words accurately in a fluent manner.

An SLP can aid in the prevention of reading and writing difficulties and identification of children who may be at risk for literacy deficits. Early identification and intervention are very important as reading and writing skills have a big impact on a child’s academic performance.
