5 Florence Township School District Pre Kindergarten Speech & Language Screening Permission Form Child s Name (first & last) Dear Parent/Guardian: All children who will be enrolling in Kindergarten are recommended to receive a speech screening. This screening is designed to identify any possible speech or language developmental delays so that they can be promptly addressed, if necessary. By the age of five, there are certain sounds that should be mastered and produced correctly. If errors are found to exist in several of the developmental sounds, your child may be recommended for a speech therapy evaluation during their Kindergarten year. Other sounds such as R, S, Z, L, TH and blends are more advanced and are not acquired in normal speech development until approximately seven years of age. These sounds may also be impacted by dentition and may take until second grade to fully develop. Therefore, students may be re screened at any time during their enrollment at Roebling Elementary school based upon the developmental norms for each grade. Kindergarten children will also be screened for possible language difficulties, including vocabulary, and concept knowledge. If the screening indicates that your child does not need additional testing, then no further action will be required by you or the school system. If the screening indicates that your child presents error patterns that are developmentally appropriate at this time, then the Speech Language Pathologies will provide you and/or your child s teacher with information to assist in fostering continued appropriate development. This information may be incorporated into the classroom s intervention program. If the screening indicates that your child needs a more in depth speech or language evaluation, you will receive a notice to request that you attend a meeting to discuss the need for an evaluation to determine if your child needs special education and related services. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Caitlin Cavagnaro, Director of Special Services, at (609) , ext The following screenings will be conducted: Speech screening (articulation, fluency, voice) Language screening Classroom teacher checklist Please check one of the responses listed below and sign and date the form in the space provided: Yes, I give permission for the screening(s).
