How does a child qualify for speech and language therapy in the schools? 

A child must have a qualifying diagnosis and demonstrate a need for intervention. If you are concerned about your child's communication development, please contact me, Mrs. Panchik and we can have a conversation and initiate the screening or evaluation process.
