Sumner County Schools offers speech and language servicees to eligible student speech, language, or communication needs. Services are available in the areas of speech sound production, language, fluency, and voice. To receive services, the student meet eligibility standards set forth by the Tennessee State Department of Education. Services may include direct therapy, inclusion in the student's classroom, consultation, or collaboration with other educations. An IEP Team at the school will meet on an individual basis to determine what services a student needs. If you have concerns about your school-age child, please contact the Speech Language Pathologist at your child's school.
Sumner County Schools also provides evaluations and therapy to eligible students who have turned 3 years old and are not yet in school. If you have concerns about your child's speech or language development, please call (615) 451-5414 to discuss the need for an evaluation.
