  1. 3:1 Service Delivery Model Speech-Language Pathologists Knox-Warren Special Education 2010-2011 School Year

  2. What is the 3:1 Service Delivery Model? • The model follows a calendar in which speech pathologists provide traditional, direct service to students for 3 consecutive weeks, followed by a week of consultative services. • The consultative week is an opportunity for the SLPs to consult with teachers, parents, other specialists, in addition to other workload related tasks. • The primary goal is to help align speech and language services with the student’s curriculum and general education teacher’s classroom objectives so that generalization of skills occur. In other words therapy objectives are better aligned with classroom curriculum.

  3. Why Change? • This model is the kind of new approach that ASHA (American Speech and Hearing Association) has been officially advocating since the 2002 adoption of its policy on “Workload Analysis Approach for Establishing Speech-Language Caseload Standards in the Schools”. (See attached Workload Activity Clusters) • This service delivery approach also meets the demands of the reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, (IDEA Amendments, 1997) to focus on functional IEP goals to support the student’s progress in the general curriculum.

  4. Why Change cont. • Quality consultation with teachers could not be done under the previous model of managing all aspects of workload, without specific support time. • It improves the quality of service without increasing costs. • It will provide the structure to formally discuss student needs, progress and strategies with teachers, parents and other related staff.
