Department for Education Speech and Language Program
We are fortunate to be one of eight preschools in metropolitan Adelaide that have an integrated Department for Education Speech and Language Program. A speech pathologist and a teacher provide specialised support to seven children who have severe speech and/or language difficulties. These children’s primary area of need is communication, while learning and development in other areas is similar to that of other children their age. The program aims to strengthen children’s communication through individual and small group work while also taking part in the general preschool program.
Eligibility
The programs are available to children who are:
- diagnosed by a speech pathologist as having a severe speech and/or language disorder
- not diagnosed with a significant additional disability, syndrome or disorder
- able to attend the program for at least three terms in their eligible preschool year- Aboriginal children and those under state care may be eligible from the age of three
- within the average range or above for non-verbal intelligence
- within normal hearing as shown by a test within the past 12 months
- making slow progress with regular speech pathology support.
Sessions for the Speech and Language Program
Children in the Speech and Language Program attend Tuesday and Thursdays from 8.15am to 3.45pm.
How to apply
Children can be referred to a program by a speech pathologist and acceptance is based on level of need.
