Students who demonstrate an educational need for services, due to one of the above impairments, may be served by the school Speech Language Pathologist.

What is a Speech Language Pathologist?
A Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is someone who specializes in working with children and adults who have communication impairments.  A Speech Language Pathologist has a Master's Degree in the area of Communication Disorders and/or Speech Pathology.  After finishing their Clinical Fellowship Year, Speech Language Pathologists are certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association and licensed by the state.

Technology

Janet Gadd
Owen Technology Specialist
gaddj@lisd.net

We believe that technology is a tool. It is not an education itself, and it does not and should not take the place of a well-trained professional teacher. It can, however, motivate students as well as staff, and enhance the curriculum. Technology brings to every student the opportunity to use real world communications systems while providing an increased amount of reasearch and information which expands student learning and strengthens teaching.
