Governors Proclamation for May as Better Hearing and Speech Month for Missouri
Missouri Guidelines for School-Based Speech-Language Pathologists
In 2016 and 2017, the Missouri Speech-Language-Hearing Association (MSHA) worked collaboratively with several stakeholders, including the Missouri Council for Administrators of Special Education (MO-CASE) and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), to formulate proposed changes to the speech-language eligibility criteria. During the course of this collaborative work, it became apparent that a handbook for Missouri’s school-based SLPs would significantly increase understanding and consistency in practices across the state.
The Handbook has been revised as of July 2020.
