Oral Language Program
Our oral language program provides a comprehensive package of assessment, training, whole class instruction and targeted intervention, supporting language development in early childhood and elementary schools.
Assessments
Our assessments provide an accurate and reliable way to easily assess children, track the progress of students' skills, and identify those who would benefit from interventions or specialist support.
“The one thing I want to emphasize is how important early language screening and intervention is. I think it often gets overlooked when we're talking about literacy. And the more we have as a district delved in to looking at, language and the language component of literacy, we realized how much we were missing. It's really important that districts, especially with younger learners, start looking at language immediately. Because there are so many early gaps you can close that will support students continuing through their education.”
