title: Note on ambient noise levels in head start speech-language therapy rooms.
abstract: Only one speech-language therapy room of ten at preschool Head Start centers met the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's (ASHA) requirements for ambient noise levels in educational settings. Preschoolers with speech-language disorders need ideal circumstances for therapy, which may be achieved through environmental changes or assistive listening devices.
