Speech and Language Supports
Communication is essential to learning, confidence, connection, and overall student success. Lakeland Catholic is proud to support students and families through speech-language resources and supports offered by our Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) team.
Our SLP team has developed resources and activities families can use at home to support speech and language development in a fun, practical, and engaging way.
Each sound includes a video, ways to target the sound at home, and lists of words and books that highlight that particular sound.
