I would like to take this time to thank my "Southside" and "St. Edward" family for helping me through the past 2 weeks. Your many kind words, actions, and prayers helped my family in dealing with the sudden and tragic loss of my "dad". I am so fortunate to be surrounded by such caring people.
What Can You Do If You Suspect A Speech, Language, Or Hearing Problem?
A thorough evaluation by a speech-language pathologist or audiologist is needed to determine a person's communication strengths and weaknesses. After this evaluation, the speech-language pathologist or audiologist will be able to provide a plan for meeting individual needs.
What Is A Speech-Language Pathologist
A speech-language pathologist is a professional educated in the study of human communication, its development, and its disorders. by evaluating the speech and language skills of children and adults, the speech-language pathologist determines if communication problems exist and decides the best way to treat these problems.
What Is An Audiologist?
An audiologist is a professional educated in the study of normal and impaired hearing. The audiologist determines if a person has a hearing impairment, what type of impairment it is, and how the individual can make the best use of remaining hearing. If a person will benefit from using hearing aids or other listening devices, the audiologist can assist with the selection, fitting, and purchase of the most appropriate aids and with training the individual to use the aid effectively.
What happened to our nice hot days?? We did need the rain and I must admit, I did like the cool weather. Cool weather is great for football, soccer, and fall baseball!! Rainy weather is great for staying inside and reading a book –or better yet, practicing your speech sounds!! Which ever you do, I hope you do your best!!!
Next week, our schedule will change on Monday and Tuesday. Southside students will be taking the DIBEL's Next assessment to get a baseline measure on every students reading (or reading readiness- letter and sound recognition) ability. We will go back to our regular schedule on Wednesday. Our 2nd grade will be taking a field trip to Morehead State University on Friday.
Have a great weekend-
