Department of Speech-Language Pathology
Good communication is important for speaking, thinking, writing, reading, and learning. Poor communication skills can interfere with a child’s ability to understand and participate in classroom instruction and may impair their relationships with teachers and other children. The ten Speech-Language Pathologists in the Howard-Suamico School District work with children in the schools from 3 years of age to 21 years of age who have communication problems that affect their success in classroom activities, social interaction, literacy, and learning.
