Speech and Language Services
Unlocking Potential by Strengthening Communication Skills
The HRS Learning Center offers fee-based speech and language services for enrolled students during the academic school year as well as non-enrolled students. These individualized speech and language services are designed to help students strengthen communication skills, build confidence, and succeed in the classroom and beyond. Our school-based, person-centered approach supports students in developing the speech, language, and social communication skills needed to thrive in changing learning environments.
Targeted Support
Services are tailored to each student’s unique needs and may include:
- Individual speech and language therapy sessions
- Classroom-based language support
- Collaboration with teachers and families
- Student observations and progress monitoring
- Written progress updates throughout the school year
Our experienced speech-language pathologists work closely with families and educators to provide meaningful, supportive care that helps students reach their communication potential.
Services are contracted from October through early June, and all sessions for enrolled students occur during school hours (not before or after school). Students may be added to the program during the school year, on a space available basis.

Speech & Language Evaluations
HRS provides screenings, at no charge, to assess the need for speech or language therapy. If an evaluation is recommended, families can find the best fit by exploring the following options:
Option 1: Public School
Public schools evaluate students free of charge, if eligibility for specialized services is in question. Evaluations are scheduled through the local district or public school of residence. If it is determined a student qualifies for speech services, these are offered free of charge at the public school of residence through IEP services. HRS is not contracted to provide public school speech and language services. However, we can use an existing school evaluation and IEP to initiate therapy at HRS.
Option 2: HRS Learning Center
The Learning Center offers two types of evaluations for students enrolled at HRS:
$300 for a speech sound disorders (articulation) evaluation
$600 for a comprehensive speech and language evaluation
Option 3: Private Speech and Language Pathologists
HRS can provide referrals to speech language pathologists outside of HRS for evaluation services, upon request.
