What is IST??

The Instructional Support Team was formed for the purpose of developing multi-disciplinary interventions
to improve student achievement.
IST accepts referrals from teachers and parents with the goal of enhancing student academic,
communication, motor and/or social functioning. 

  

Membership is student specific and will typically include the student’s teacher, a special educator,
an Academic Intervention Service teacher and school psychologist.
IST may also include a speech pathologist, the previous year’s teacher, school nurse,
occupational therapist, physical therapist and administrator.

Speech and Language Therapy


We are both licensed Speech and Language Pathologists at Greenwich Central School.
We work with students who have various communication disorders in kindergarten through high school.
As a team, we will conduct formal and informal assessments to determine each individual student's strengths
and needs in the areas of speech and language.
