Many educators encounter students who struggle to express themselves clearly. These challenges—ranging from
speech delays and
stuttering to language comprehension issues—can hinder classroom participation, social confidence, and academic success. Nobles Speech Therapy offers engaging, practical workshops that equip your staff with the tools they need to support every student’s voice.
The Communication Crisis in Classrooms
Communication disorders are more common than many realize. Nearly 1 in 12 U.S. children ages 3–17 has experienced a voice, speech, or language disorder in the past year (NIDCD). These issues can disrupt reading development, peer interactions, and participation in group activities.
Educators are often the first to notice communication struggles—but most receive little to no training on how to respond effectively (Getting Smart).
A 2024 report from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, published in JAMA, highlights that children with speech or language delays may be at increased risk for literacy challenges, behavioral problems, and long-term academic difficulties (USPSTF, JAMA, 2024).
What Speech Therapy Training Actually Is
This training is not about turning teachers into speech therapists. It’s about giving them the tools to:
- Recognize early signs of speech and language delays
- Support students during daily classroom routines
- Communicate effectively with families about concerns
- Know when and how to recommend further evaluation
These are real-world, actionable strategies tailored for general and special education environments.
Who This Training Is For
Nobles Speech Therapy PD sessions are designed for educators and staff working with:
- Preschool – Early childhood educators and aides
- Elementary (K–5) – Classroom teachers, reading specialists, SPED staff
- Middle School (6–8) – Teachers supporting lingering language delays
- Support Staff – Paraprofessionals, instructional aides, speech aides
Our primary focus is on students ages 2–13, where early recognition and support can make the greatest impact.

- Administrators see better learning outcomes and improved staff preparedness
What Makes Nobles Speech Therapy Different
All training is led by Myles Nobles, M.S., CCC-SLP, a certified pediatric speech-language pathologist who works directly with children from ages 2 to 18. Sessions are fun, interactive, and grounded in classroom realities—not just theory.
Myles brings patience, clarity, and a strong rapport with both educators and children, making even complex topics feel accessible and actionable.
Common Signs Teachers Should Recognize
Training helps educators identify subtle early warning signs such as:
Limited vocabulary or short sentence use
Difficulty following instructions
Trouble organizing thoughts or telling stories
Persistent mispronunciation or disfluency
Avoidance of verbal participation in class
Recognizing these signs in the classroom is often the first step in supporting students more effectively.
