A language disability is when a person struggles to understand and use spoken or written language to communicate. A speech disability is when a person struggles to produce speech sounds or put syllables together to form words. An SLP works to diagnose and help students with a speech or language disability. An IEP is created by a team of individuals associated with the student to ensure their academic and social success. An IEP covers accommodations, special services, future goals, progression, and a diagnosis.

- A teacher or parent may notice a student struggling to communicate or keep up academically
- During a routine check up at a doctor's office
- Standardized tests
To be diagnosed with a speech or language disorder a child needs to be assessed by an SLP. Once the SLP gives an evaluation an IEP will be constructed that will outline the future plan for the student. The student will continue education in their regular classroom, but they will meet with an SLP regularly. The child will meet with the SLP depending on the child's current ability and progression. During these sessions, a child may be integrated into a large group or have a one-on-one session with an SLP.

An SLP will review the case history to gather any information about the child's disability. An SLP may observe the child in a natural environment such as a classroom. An SLP may have a conversation with a child to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Or play a game with the child involving social interactions. The child may be asked to read sentences, correct grammar, name objects, respond to questions, or use context clues to determine the next part of a story. ]]> 2022-09-02 23:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesl225/w8knhi3fpiggwk0n/wish/2281236210 Adaptations in the classroom jonesl225 https://padlet.com/jonesl225/w8knhi3fpiggwk0n/wish/2281239089 An IEP outlines the special education services a student may receive.
