ABSTRACT
Many children have speech and language disabilities (S/L), which are basically communication disorders. For example, some children may stutter, have voice clarity issues, or not be able to articulate sounds clearly as a result of a speech disability. Children with language disabilities may have difficulty understanding what is being said (receptive language) or have difficulty expressing themselves (expressive language). These students can build confidence by using their voices in a group setting, so singing or chanting are excellent musical activities for these children. The school speech and language pathologist can provide suggestions and accommodations for all of these students.
