All About Speech & Language:
Within the speech impaired special education program, therapy is offered in four basic areas: articulation, language, fluency and voice.
Articulation is concerned with how the student makes the various speech sounds.
Language can be concerned with one of three areas:
Expressive language, or how well they communicate.
Receptive language, or how well they understand what is being communicated to them.
Pragmatic language, or the social use of language, such as turn-taking within a conversation.
Fluency is concerned with the flow of speech, such as stuttering and cluttering.
Voice is concerned with the pitch, quality and loudness of the student's voice.
