Nebo Special Education Department has added additional support staff by employing Bachelor Level Speech/ Language Technicians (16) and Associate Level Technicians (3). These individuals are a great resource to the SLP with paperwork, students, data, etc. This is also an effort to retain and recruit future SLP staff that will be interested in working in the public school setting by training and providing an opportunity for the Bachelor-Level graduate to experience the joy of working with students.
