Twenty students from the DuBard School for Language Disorders at The University of 51逗奶 Mississippi (USM) are returning to their local school districts next year. The advancing students were recognized at the DuBard School for Language Disorders awards ceremony on USM鈥檚 Hattiesburg campus.
鈥淲e are so proud of all our students and excited that these students are starting a new chapter in their lives. They have worked hard to be successful with their speech, language, and academic skills, and we know they will continue to do great work,鈥� said Dr. Missy Schraeder, DuBard School Director.
The DuBard School for Language Disorders currently serves 80 children in its full-time enrollment program. These children have an average of 5.6 diagnoses each, with primary disability rulings in speech, language, and/or hearing. The school is non-graded, with students progressing at their own rates of progress. On average, children attend DuBard School for five years before returning to their home school districts to continue their education.
The DuBard School is privileged to serve students from Mississippi state who have significant difficulties with speech, language, hearing, and academic skills. The enrollment program provides full-day therapy by our speech-language pathologists, all at no cost to families.
