ABSTRACT

In a collaborative consultation model of speech-language service delivery, the treatment system is expanded beyond the traditional client-centered dyad. Further, services are provided in the context of the classroom rather than in the noncontextual environment of a therapy room, and treatment goals relate to aspects of the school, such as curriculum, classroom behavior, and social interactions with peers. The use of the model is illustrated with a child having a cognitive impairment.
