KINGS PARK
SPEECH
The speech and
language program at Kings Park Elementary School
serves children in the non-categorical Preschool
program and grades Kindergarten through grade
three. At the beginning of each school year the
speech and language clinicians screen all
Kindergarten students and students in grades 1-3
who are new to Fairfax County. Throughout the
school year, the clinicians monitor students for
developmental progress in articulation and language
skills. Diagnostic evaluations are conducted on
students who are identified through a screening
process. Therapy services are delivered a variety
of ways depending on what is educationally
appropriate for each individual child. Some
children are served in their language arts time
block in collaboration with their learning resource
teachers. Other children receive small group or
individual therapy as needed. Preschool children
are also served in the classroom and small group
and individual sessions. A collaborative approach
with other services, such as occupational therapy,
physical therapy, special education teachers, and
vision and hearing itinerants, as well as the
classroom teachers is utilized. Children who
receive services may be working on a variety of
deficit areas including articulation, voice,
fluency, concept and language development, and
phonemic awareness skills.
