“Collaborative Team Approach to meet the Needs of Diverse Learners.”
Education is an continually changing landscape; therefore, properly advocating and educating diverse students is of paramount importance. To assist these students effectively and efficiently it takes the work of a “village”. Researchers have shown that when Speech-Language Pathologists take a seat at the collaborative table, student outcomes increase. With the ongoing Literacy Initiatives in the state of Louisiana, Speech-Language Pathologists have advanced training in literacy/language acquisition. Therefore, to benefit students, it is best practice to collaborate with Speech-Language Pathologists as part of the instructional team.
