Local Schools
Increase Emphasis
On Speech Therapy
“We improve speech through
successful speaking experiences,”
says Mrs. Marie Huie, head of the
Department of Speech Therapy
at Carrollton - Farmers Branch
schools.
Twice a week each school in
the district has speech classes
lor students wiho need help in
this area of development. It may
be a severe difficulty or merely a
matter of mispronouncing one
sound. Other therapists are Mrs.
Blanche McClain and Miss Roylene
Mitohell.
Mrs. Huie has a BA and MEd.
degrees and has been with the
local school system for three
years. Mrs. McClain is beginning
her second year and Miss Mitchell
was employed this fall. Both assis-
tants are speech garduates from
North Texas State University at
Denton.
Students in the classes come
from regular classes through re-
ferrals from teachers, parents or
doctors. Bach student is tested for
hearing difficulties and each stu-
dent is treated as an individual.
There is no average length of
time a student may stay in the
speech classes. Some with minor
problems require only a month—
others may need years of special
help. Every problem is of a con-
cern to the therapists. Visual,
auditory and Kenisthetic methods
are used in teaching speech to
find the student’s best way of
learning to speak correctly.
Enrollment in the speech classes
is voluntary. A teacher or doctor
may suggest it but a student must
want to solve his speech problems
before he enters the class.
Class time is made into a fun
time and varied methods are used
—games, conversation, puppets,
tape recorders and slides are util-
ized. Grades are not given for
speech class and students progress
at their own pace.
Almost all, in fact, according
to Mrs. Huie 100 percent of the
students come willingly and eag-
erly to the classes. She also ad-
vises parents to seek the .help of
the therapist if they feel that
their child has a speech problem
that has not been recognized by
the teacher.
Mrs. Huie works at Valwood and
Carrollton Elementary Schools;
Mrs. McClain ait R. L. Turner, De-
Witt Perry and Webb Chapel and
Farmers Branch Elementary; Miss
Mitchell serves Good Elementary,
Janie Stark, Vivian Field and
Farmers Branch Elementary. The
classes are kept small and addi-
tional therapists will be employed
if need requires.
“The success of this program
depends on the cooperation of
parents and teachers with therap-
ists and students. This cooperation
has been excellent and is reflected
in the progress of the students,”
says Mrs. Huie, who is most en-
thusiastic over the therapy de-
partment.
