Students enrolled in speech/language therapy work on language skills, speech sounds, voicing, and/or fluency. Language delays include restricted vocabulary, difficulties understanding oral directions, answering detail questions about oral and written stories, concept and grammar development. The most common speech sound errors include r, s, l, th, sh, and ch. Some students in speech class work on stuttering or pragmatics of language. Pragmatics include understanding body language, using personal space when speaking to others, appropriate loudness and eye-contact.
