Speech-Language
services at Cochise are part of a federally mandated Special Education program
to serve students with communication delays/disorders that interfere with their
ability to effectively participate in the general education curriculum.
The students must qualify according to federal, state, and district
criteria in the areas of articulation, language (vocabulary, semantics, syntax,
pragmatics) and fluency.
Activities
to improve your child’s speech-language skills:
1. The #1 best activity – READ to your
children.
2. Play
board/card games.
3. Discuss your child’s day or other topics.
