A Guide for Students and Practioners
Improve your students’ communication skills with this thorough, completely updated book. Speech, Language, and Hearing Programs in Schools — Second Edition, contains much new information. Since the publication of the first edition, vast changes have occurred. This book reflects those changes and the new information and research that is currently available.
Increased diagnostic and intervention requirements, expanding roles within school-based practice, newly defined federal and state standards of learning, and the integration of technology are all touched upon in this revised edition. The book is divided into four sections: Overview of the Profession of Speech-Language Pathology in Schools; Core Areas of School-Based Speech-Language Pathology; Expanding Roles of Speech-Language Pathology in School Based Practice; and The Roles of Related Professionals.
Each chapter, whether completely new or integrated with new information, was reviewed to be sure it reflects substantial new findings and requirements and mirrors the schools, as they exist now. Each chapter also contains a list of current references and an appendix at the end of the text featuring a sampling of Web sites that can serve as a starting point to gain new information.
This is a perfect text for graduate level SLP students or for professional SLPs entering employment in schools. Both students and instructors will find this an excellent resource for gaining insight into and expanding the role of the school-based speech-language pathologist. This program includes an Instructor’s Manual.
