PROGRAM RESUMED Hearing testing is an important
part of the screening process for identifying possible speech
problems. Mary Lawrence, speech therapist, uses an
audiometer to quickly test hearing of students.
Testing Program Resumes
After a year’s absence,
the services of a speech
therapist are once again
available to students in the
Edenton - Chowan Schools.
Effoi last year to provide
a H\r • *>ist to work with
studenu are unsuccessful.
In explaining the school
system’s program, Mary
Lawrence, therapist,
stated that speech therapy
is a support service, which
is not considered a primary
handicap, under the Ex
ceptional Children’s
program. Her main area or
responsibility will be
working with students
displaying speech difficulty
from kindergarten through
the sixth grade or eighth
grade, depending upon
number of severity of cases.
However some high school
students with severe speech
problems may be served.
At present there are
between 50 and 80 students
who have been identified as
experiencing difficulty with
speech. Some of these
students were identified in
previous years and some
have been identified since
screening of exceptional
children began early in the
fall. The screening process
continues and it is an
ticipated that more students
will be found when the DIAL
screening, which includes
speech and hearing, is
conducted on all first
graders within the next
couple of weeks.
Referrals for students
generally come from the
classroom teacher, who
recognize quickly when
children have problems.
Local Group Wins Grant
The Appalachian State
University Center for
Community Education, with
aid of the Z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation, recently an
nounced five $2,000 grants.
The Chowan County Chapter
of the N. C. Symphony listed
among the recipients of the
incentive grants awarded in
North Carolina.
According to Mary Rhea
Gardner, local chapter
official and Edenton -
Chowan Schools Community
Education Coordinator
wrote a project proposal for
the competitive grant. The
five awards received across
the state were selected from
a field of 27 proposals
submitted.
“Needless to say,” Mrs.
Gardner remarked, “with a
local quota of $6,000 needed
to bring a free education
performance to Chowan
County’s students and an
evening concert for the
community, we were
delighted that our project
was a winner.”
The writing of project
SCORE Symphony
Concerts, an Objective for
Rural Education - was an
outgrowth of the school
system’s Community
Education program. One <rf
the objectives of the
program for 1981-82 was to
organize a local Symphony
Chapter which, on an annual
basis will work to expose
and toenstill in students and
citizens an appreciation for
symphonic music, a form of
culture not readily available
in the community.
The Chowan County
Chaper’s annual mem
bership drive is now un
derway for performances to
be held January 2, 1982, at
which time the John A.
Frequently, as they are
encouraged to do, parents
will inform the school of
existing speech deficiency
and request that students
receive services.
Before any child is placed
in the speech program, a
thorough screening process
is completed and parental
permission received.
During her two years
experience, Lawrence, who
received her B.S. degree
in speech and hearing from
the University of Tennessee,
has found the most common
form of speech disorder to
be in the area of ar
ticulation. “Eighty per cent
of the students receiving
help”, she said, ‘‘have
trouble making their sounds
correctly.
Other areas of speech
disorders with which the
therapist will work
generally fall in the
categories of fluencing, i.e.
stuttering; language, i.e.
speech patterns and the way
sentences are put together ;
and voice i.e. harshness,
etc. “if, in the voice area,
physical causes are found to
exist, recommendations for
for medical referrals will be
made to parents.
Once all screening is done
and students with speech
disorders are identified,
Lawrence will be working
with the students two or
three times each week either
in small group sessions or
individually where severe
problems exist. Students
with the most severe speech
disorders will receive
services four times each
week.
Holmes Concert Choir and
the Edenton Choral Society
will perform. All con
tributions received before
Sept. 30 in support of the
effort, will be matched by $1
for every $2 from a
challenge grant. All con
tributions are tax deduc
tible.
Everyone needing more
information concerning
contributions or mem
berships should contact
Mrs. Bruce Wackelin,
membership drive chair
man, at 482-2792 or Mary
Rhea Gardner at 482-4436 or
