Interprofessional Language, Enrichment and Pre-kindergarten Program

iLEAP (Interprofessional Language, Enrichment and Pre-kindergarten Program), located within the John W. Keys Speech and Hearing Center on the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center campus, is a university training program designed to provide a language-rich, pre-kindergarten experience for children 2 ½ to 4 years old with delayed communication development and behavioral challenges, as well as children who exhibit typical development. We work interprofessionally with colleagues to provide services to our iLEAP children in the areas of dentistry, audiology, occupational therapy, and nutritional sciences. The goal of this specialty clinic is to help children be prepared to mainstream into classrooms in their local school districts and to be successful in the classroom environment. The iLEAP staff consists of certified speech-language pathologists along with graduate and undergraduate students in speech-language pathology within the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department of the College of Allied Health. The iLEAP program is a partner agency of the United Way of Central Oklahoma.

 

Who We Serve

iLEAP is a half-day program enrolling children ages 2 ½ to 4 years old who exhibit communication delays, with particular classes designed for children who may be exhibiting signs of autism spectrum disorder. We have small class sizes and a low child to teacher ratio to provide an optimal learning environment.  We also encourage enrollment for typically developing children in this age range to have a language-rich, structured pre-kindergarten experience. These children are a valuable part of the program as they serve as peer models for children with delayed communication skills.
