A Guide to School Services in Speech-Language Pathology, 5th Edition (EPUB)

By Trici Schraeder, Courtney L. Seidel

A Guide to School Services in Speech-Language Pathology, Fifth Edition serves as a must read for school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs), college instructors, and students-in-training. The text begins by providing a brief history of school-based SLP services. The foundations of school services are highlighted, including the legal mandates set forth in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA); Every Student Succeeds Act, Americans with Disabilities Act; and landmark court cases that have influenced school services – such as the 2023 Midthun-Hensen & Hensen v. GHC court ruling regarding evidence-based practices. Pedagogical features include related vocabulary at the beginning of each chapter to promote equity in comprehension, end of chapter summaries with guiding questions to reinforce important information, facilitate class discussions, and enhance understanding, concrete, real-life success stories from public school SLPs, and links to useful strategies, materials, and resources.

This comprehensive textbook addresses issues paramount to school-based SLPs:

• Options to expand and diversify service delivery models
• Step-by-step instructions to implement a workload analysis
• Examples of IEP goals that support flexible scheduling and workload solutions
• Tables that describe evidence-based practices and provide links to the supportive research
• Template for writing IEP goals that align with IDEA mandates
• Methods for assessing multilingual language learners including dynamic, authentic, and criterion-referenced tools
