Summary: Service delivery in the schools is not one size fits all. This course – part of a series that proposes practical approaches to overcoming the big challenges school-based SLPs face – examines strategies for identifying practical, realistic, and optimal service delivery approaches tailored to the students on your caseload and the conditions in your school. Using traditional speaker instruction, case examples, and practice activities, the course explores accessible tools to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of particular service delivery approaches, including pull-out services and in-classroom services, and helps you select the right option for a particular situation or student.

Summary: Literacy skills begin to develop in early childhood, and addressing deficits in reading and writing skills early may prevent later problems in school. This journal self-study explores special situations that may affect literacy skills, including the presence of speech sound disorders, hearing impairment, and cultural and/or socioeconomic differences. It also includes articles that discuss intervention techniques to improve phonological awareness, an important emergent literacy skill. Clinicians can use this information to improve reading and writing assessment and treatment techniques for preschool and early elementary school children.

Summary: This SIG 1 activity focuses on ethical challenges that audiologists and SLPs may face in various school-based scenarios. A 5-step ethical decision-making approach is presented. An ethical decision-making model is used to help prepare clinicians for the ethical continuation of telepractice in schools. Some thoughts and tools for connecting ethical practices with the provision of culturally sensitive/responsive services are provided.

Summary: School-based SLPs don't have enough time, and neither do students. This course – part of a series that proposes practical approaches to overcoming the big challenges school-based SLPs face – emphasizes how to use your role as a "coach" and "independence facilitator" to make better use of time and confront the ever-present challenge of time constraints. The speaker will guide you through an activity designed to identify implementable solutions that are tailored to your particular circumstances.

Summary: Working at the “top of the license” requires SLPs to take a close look at their workload while balancing the need to support a collaborative school culture. This course – the first in a series that proposes practical approaches to overcoming the big challenges school-based SLPs face – will help you analyze your workload while considering the question, “What really requires my expertise?” The speaker will help you explore the underlying issues you face in your school and examine the many hats SLPs wear. Before you can determine what could be, it’s important to first figure out what is, and this course is your starting point.

Summary: Distinguishing between language disorder and language difference can be a challenge when a child speaks a nonmainstream English dialect. This journal self-study presents research findings that clinicians can implement with this population in their practice. The assessment and intervention strategies and tools discussed in these articles will allow SLPs to deliver more effective services and promote academic success for children who speak nonmainstream English dialects.

Summary: To make a difference for our students we can’t work alone; yet, collaboration is hard. This course – part of a series that proposes practical approaches to overcoming the big challenges school-based SLPs face – focuses on concrete, realistic strategies for making collaboration work in schools, using case scenarios to explore different implementations of collaboration. The course guides you through practice activities designed to identify solutions tailored to your environment and the unique communication needs of your students. The course also includes strategies that will make you a more effective advocate at all levels – for your students, yourself, and the concept of collaborative services in general.

Summary: Children with speech sound disorders make up a large part of the caseload for many SLPs who work with preschool and school-age children. Speech sound disorders not only affect a child’s ability to communicate at a young age but also may lead to later speech and literacy difficulties. This journal self-study explores issues related to managing speech sound disorders, including assessment and treatment options. It also includes articles that identify predictors of future speech and literacy problems. Clinicians can use this information to help identify appropriate assessment tools and potential treatment options, as well as counsel parents and teachers of children who may be at risk for continuing speech and academic difficulties.

Summary: Dynamic assessment, which seeks to identify a child’s individual skills and learning potential, can be a useful but labor-intensive process. In this course – which is broken into six 5-minute activities – the presenter will demonstrate how you can efficiently collect data through dynamic assessment using the META (Match – Extend – Try it – Assess) Map tool to extend and expand on the student’s communicative strengths. Then the presenter will guide you through actionable steps to use the tool and reflect on the results.

Summary: SLPs often operate from a deficits perspective due to the practical need to focus on assessment and qualification for services. In this course – which is broken into six 5-minute blocks – the presenter will demonstrate how to focus on students’ communicative strengths in order to build rapport with students and foster positive, collaborative relationships with other stakeholders. Then the presenter will guide you through actionable steps to practice using a series of checklists to identify a student’s strengths and reflect on the results.
