At Northwest Elementary, we offer a comprehensive speech and language program for students who demonstrate need. Our speech-language pathologists, Steven Everling and Bryan Gigliotti, have a combined 48 years of experience. They are well versed in developmental milestones and disorders. Treating students with disorders involving speech sound production, voice, fluency, and language are all in their area of knowledge.
