Speech and Language Program

The speech/language impairment (SLI) program at Entz is conducted a certified and licensed speech/language pathologist (SLP). The speech teacher provides services for children enrolled in grade K-6). In order to be eligible, or in need of service, two conditions must be met. 1) A speech and/or language disorder must be present and 2) an adverse effect on the child's academic performance must be determined. A literature-based methodology is implemented in direct and/or indirect therapy. Parents may call the speech teacher at 472-7365 and set up an appointment if there are questions and/or concerns regarding the SLI program.

SLD (Specific Learning Disability) Resource

SLD (Specific Learning Disability) Resource provides help for students who have a learning disability. Students with learning disabilities are students who have average to above average intelligence, but struggle with learning in one or more academic areas.

Instruction is provided through a continuum of services. Help can be provided through a pull-out model, where students are instructed in the resource room, using alternative materials, to an inclusion model, where students are instructed with their grade level peers, using the regular classroom curriculum. Modifications to classroom work are made as needed, by the resource teacher and the classroom teacher. How services are provided depends on the needs of the child.

Our goal is to bring students from the level they are performing at, to a level in which they can successfully perform in the regular classroom.
