School Methods

Catalog description

This course prepares graduate students to provide effective, evidence-based, and person-centered speech-language services in school settings. Students examine the roles and responsibilities of school-based speech-language pathologists through the lens of federal and state law and policy, educational policy, and ethical practice. Emphasis is placed on collaborative and interprofessional models, student-centered assessment and intervention, IEP development, and data-driven decision-making that supports equitable student outcomes. Through applied case studies, reflective practice, and research integration, students learn to navigate real-world challenges while maintaining compliance and compassion in service delivery.
