Should Speech Pathologists Work in
Schools?
How Should Speech Pathologists Work in
Schools?
In school-aged children with SLI, is a school-based
treatment model an effective way of managing SLI in the
classroom?
In school-aged children with SLI, is an in-class, school-based model better than a withdrawal model in managing SLI in the classroom?
In school-based treatment for school-aged children with
SLI, is a collaborative or consultative model better
than withdrawal?

CBL: Students with SLI can make positive changes in their knowledge of curricular vocabulary in all 3 service deliveries (collaborative, consultative and withdrawal) but make more change in the collaborative model. Collaborative planning is essential for successful joint teaching programs.

CBL: At risk students in Kindergarten & 1st grade involved in collaborative planning and teaching between class teachers and SLPs demonstrated greater change in regards to receptive and expressive vocabulary, as well as letter-sound associations, but no broad improvement in phonological awareness skills when compared with grade-matched peers who weren’t receiving collaborative intervention.
The CAT’s Clinical Bottom Line
We’re not there yet but the generally feeling is that all forms of intervention work (traditional pull-out, consultative and collaborative), however collaborative is the best though it is the most time consuming and costly.
