  • Support the acquisition of oral and written language abilities needed for school success
  • Collaborate with diverse families and educational agencies
  • Help students residing in poor underserved areas, and those with disabilities from preschool through adolescence acquire language and literacy skills for success in inclusive academic and social settings
