St. Martin Hall, a demonstration school affiliated with Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, collaborated with the Harry Jersig Center to test students for speech and language difficulties or hearing loss. A significant number of the children were from economically disadvantaged homes. Most of the children were Hispanic. Audiologists and speech pathologists assisted by graduate students from Our Lady of the Lake University conducted screenings of 108 children over a four-month period. Children who failed any screening were referred for further testing and possible intervention. This collaboration demonstrates how good will, cooperation, communication and energy can do much to improve the lives of children when school and parent resources are limited. (Contains 1 table.)
