As children are all unique, we understand that there should be different ways to meet the needs of children depending upon their difficulties. We have a number of different programs that we offer within the Hartland-Lakeside School District to help children with speech and language delays or disabilites. The following is a description of programs offered. 

Speech/Language Therapy 

Individualized intervention for children that exhibit delays in the areas of language, voice, fluency, and speech sounds.  The amount of service ranges from 1 to 3  times per week for approximately 20- to 45-minutes.  The child must meet eligibility criteria set from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction in order to receive services. When would your child receive speech and language therapy? When he/she has an impairment (see eligibility criteria) or as a related service.

Speech Articulation Program

This program is offered to children in 1st to 4th grades who exhibit developmental speech sound errors that do not handicap them in academic, social, or emotional areas. Services for this program are provided by a Speech Therapy Assistant supervised by a licensed Speech/Language Pathologist.  This program alternates between Hartland North and Hartland South every other year.

Parenting for Good Speech Program

  This program is offered in the fall to parents providing strategies to encourage speech sound development to their typically developing children.

Three and Four Year Old Screening 

  Offered in  October and February at the Little Red School house (appointment only).
