Children accepted into the Wardlaw School may exhibit underlying auditory and/or language processing problems that make it difficult for them to learn in their present educational setting. Our students are between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and are in kindergarten through 6th grade. Wardlaw School students typically have a diagnosis of dyslexia or “red flags” for the disorder. They may also have difficulty understanding and/or using spoken language, expressing themselves through written language, or experience mathematical disabilities.

Work collaboratively with the classroom teacher to establish and implement appropriate language goals for each student in the classroom. Provide individual and small-group “pull-out” therapy, as well as whole-class language instruction, as appropriate.

Serve a typical full-time caseload of 3 classrooms (36 students).
