A Guide to School Services in Speech-Language Pathology, Fourth Edition serves as a comprehensive textbook for school-based speech-language pathology (SLP) courses and college students who are ready to embark on their student teaching experiences. With its summaries of cutting-edge research, evidence-based clinical approaches, workload solutions, and strategies for professionalism, the book is also a useful resource for practicing, school-based SLPs.
The text begins by providing a brief history of school-based SLP services. It highlights the legal mandates set forth in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act; provides a review of the No Child Left Behind Act; offers new information about the Every Student Succeeds Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act; and summarizes court cases that have influenced and shaped school services. Then, the text delves into a description of service delivery models; provides valuable information about a workload analysis approach to caseload standards in schools; offers examples of how to write IEPs that reflect workload solutions; shares examples of implementation strategies; and offers concrete, real-life workload success stories. In addition, this text provides practical strategies for using evidence-based practice, proactive behavior management, conflict resolution, professional collaboration, conferencing and counseling skills, cultural competencies, goal writing, informal assessment procedures, and testing accommodations, including methods for conducting assessments for dual language learners. The final chapter provides the evidence base for links between language, literacy, and the achievement of school standards. This chapter is a must-read for every school SLP.

Review
"The topic overviews, definitions, and examples meet the needs of beginning clinicians. It also provides examples and overviews that would be helpful for experienced clinicians, especially those who are in supervisory roles. [...] It presents history and analysis of current issues that SLPs face in the school context, defines key vocabulary and concepts, provides examples and practical resources, and includes numerous references. Highlights include workload vs. caseload models and historical context for services. A strength of the book is its numerous examples of service delivery models and the historical context that is provided. Overviews are provided on topics such as evidence-based practice, standards-based services, counseling, behavior, as well as cultural-linguistic assessment and intervention. The Oral Language Curriculum Assessment Inventory is also included in full in the book and on the companion website.This book is an excellent resource for students of speech pathology and their supervisors in public schools. The fourth edition has a new co-author and updated current models and resources."
