The speech therapy program at Barton Hills serves students kindergarten through 6th grade. The goal of school-based speech therapy is to improve students’ ability to learn and function in the school environment. Speech therapy services are individualized to each student’s needs and may target skills such as articulation, expressive language, receptive language, social pragmatic language, voice, stuttering, and multimodal communication (augmentative and alternative communication).
