A Word From Kristina hammond, oak View's
 Speech-Language Pathologist

The Speech and Language Program at Oak View Elementary School provides services for eligible students in the areas of articulation, language, fluency (stuttering) and voice. To receive services a student must meet eligibility standards set forth by the Tennessee State Department of Education. In addition, the Individualized Education Team (IEP-Team) must determine that the speech and language impairment adversely affects a student's educational performance. Services may include direct therapy, inclusion in the student's classroom, or consultation with the student's teacher.  The services delivered may depend on the type and severity of the impairment. The Speech-Language Pathologist at Oak View collaborates with other school personnel to ensure a program that will integrate curricular areas with the student's communication goals and objectives.
