District Planning for Progress

Pinellas County Schools hosted a series of community meetings across the district to share school-specific data and gather feedback on population and enrollment trends, facility planning and school utilization.

How will the therapist work with my child?
 
What the SLP does will depend on what your child needs. The types of services you child gets may change over time. SLPs provide direct and indirect services.


Direct service means the SLP will:

*Work with the child one on one or in a group setting.
*Work with the child in the classroom or in a group.
*Use a combination of these approaches.


Indirect service means the SLP will:

*Watch how a child’s speech and language skills are developing. This is called monitoring.
*Help parents and teachers understand how the child communicates and learns. This is called consultation.
*Give the teacher suggestions on how to include a child’s speech and language goals in the classroom.
