Ector County expands school speech therapy program
ECISD widens its speech therapy effort with 654 students in the program. Teachers test all incoming first graders and transfers from other districts to place children and tailor instruction. Parents must participate, with tips on proper speech at home and guidelines to foster clear articulation. The program, started in the 1950s, now staffs eight instructors and seeks to expand to secondary students.
