Making a Difference for America's Children: Speech-Language Pathologists in Public Schools is a comprehensive text dealing with the role of speech-language pathologists in the public school setting. The readings contained in the 10 chapters of this text deal with a wide variety of practical and professional issues that impact public school SLPs. This resource reviews the history of the role of SLPs in public schools, presents a discussion of school reform issues, and examines changes in federal legislation and regulations in special education, including how SLPs function as part of a school team in the areas of prevention, assessment, and intervention. Many readings in this voluminous text discuss issues surrounding the educational system, such as trends of speech-language services, legislative history of special education, issues relating to IDEA, standards-based educational reform, applications and relevance of least restrictive environment for speech-language services, and IEP process and procedures. Other chapters provide information that relates specifically to the role of public school SLPs such as pre-referral, referral and assessment, service delivery options, annual goals and benchmarks, meeting school standards, providing access to the curriculum, eligibility and exit criteria, functional outcomes, SLPs role in pre-literacy/literacy development, cultural/linguistic diversity, and issues surrounding certification and licensing.
The information presented in this text is extremely well-organized. A concise synopsis of the contents precedes each chapter, and review/discussion questions follow each chapter with applications for a university or training program.
