Ms. Smith

School-based Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) work with students who have communication problems that are affecting their education.  The SLP works closely with the Student Support Team (SST) to determine appropriate intervention services for students with concerns.  If determined interventions in the classroom alone are not working, the SST team may decide to refer for standardized assessment to determine eligibility for an Individualized Education Program (IEP).  Students with an IEP are provided specially designed instruction in the areas of speech or language as outlined in their IEP.  The IEP is re-written annually to adjust to the student’s current needs.  If you have concerns about your student’s learning because of speech or language problems, please call 216-838-5425 or email abigail.smith@clevelandmetroschools.org.
