A large majority of my students come from a poor socioeconomic background. I am a speech-language pathologist in the school system and I service about 60 children grades K-12. I see them in small groups or individual therapy. A lot of the students live with someone else besides their mom or dad, such as a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or foster care. Due to high poverty level, some students come to school with no letter or sound identification, and exposure to books and technology is little to none. Some of the students have mom and dad's that are illiterate. Some come from families that have little or no high-school education or a brother or sister dropped out of high-school.
