Speech and Language

The speech and language consultant at the MISD provides leadership for the MISD and the local districts for designing and providing effective, educationally relevant speech and language services. Schools are challenged to offer innovative programs for the prevention, identification, assessment, and intervention for children with speech (articulation, fluency, or voice disabilities) or language (oral and written receptive and expressive language learning disabilities).
