At The Tuttle School, The Speech and Language Department is composed of highly trained, licensed, and certified Speech-Language Pathologists.

Overview
Students diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities often present with receptive and expressive language disorders, social pragmatic communication disorders, and/or speech sound disorders.

At The Tuttle School, we specialize in the understanding of the language processing hierarchy, functional communication, the motor, linguistic, and neurological aspects of speech sound disorders, social pragmatics, and executive function skills. Screenings, evaluations, and individualized therapy services are able to be provided during the school day.

Our department provides individual and small group treatment one to four times weekly, both in and out of the classroom. This intervention assists in improving functional and social communication and promotes student academic and vocational success.

Collaboration with both parents and teachers is an integral part of the student’s therapy intervention. Fees are calculated at the end of each month for services rendered.
