About the Author
A Speech-Language pathologist (SLP) can evaluate a child’s hearing, writing and speaking language ability. They will then gather additional information from the child’s teachers and parents in order to suggest intervention strategies that will enable the child to achieve their learning potential. An SLP will be able to assess exactly which area the child’s language learning is deficient in and target these areas specifically to treat his/her LBLD. A child with LBLD should be given the care they need in order to successfully navigate around their disability.
