***Please note***

Speech or language impairment means a communication disorder, such as stuttering, impaired articulation, language impairment, or a voice impairment, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. With the new special education laws, a Speech and Language disorder is only recognized in the school if it impacts the child’s ability to access their education. If a child has a mild articulation delay but it doesn’t impact their ability to read, spell or interact with peers socially, then they will not be eligible for services.
