Describing How School-Based SLPs Determine Eligibility for Children with Speech Sound Disorders.

We report the results of a nation-wide survey of school-based SLPs, which further underscore this variability. Findings provide insight into which and how many factors SLPs report contributing to eligibility decisions, as well as which and how many components of an assessment are mandatory. Our discussion includes a call to advocacy for SLPs, but also a need for increased awareness of this problematic variability for school administrators. PMID: 30795021 [PubMed - in process]
