Roles and Responsibilities of Speech-Language Pathologists With Respect to Reading and Writing in Children and Adolescents
This important document clarifies the roles and responsibilities of speech-language pathologists in all practice settings related to the development of reading and writing. Since the roles of SLPs with respect to reading and writing will vary depending on the setting, these ASHA literacy documents discuss scholarly research that supports a variety of roles for SLPs, including: planning team member, direct service provider, collaborative consultant, model/demonstrator, advocate/policy maker, and researcher. Information on typical development, assessment, and intervention is included. Reprinted from ASHA Practice Policy: position statement, technical report, guidelines, and a knowledge/skills paper.
