The seventh edition of School Programs in Speech-Language Pathology: Organization and Service Delivery is an insightful, innovative, and practical resource for university faculty and students, experienced speech-language pathologists (SLPs), program leaders, school administrators, and education partners. The organization and content of the book are structured to stimulate creative thinking about how to improve the quality and effectiveness of speech-language services in schools so students with communication disorders reach their highest potential. Challenges due to the complex and ever-changing education landscape are thoughtfully explored. A fresh perspective on establishing service delivery practices and processes is offered. The concept of service delivery is broadened by aligning classroom instruction and intervention goals and preparing educators and families to support student success. School Programs encourages SLPs to embrace their roles and responsibilities and describes their participation in the MTSS process utilizing an innovative six-stage collaborative approach that results in evidence-based, effective, coordinated, and efficient services. Guidelines are recommended for SLPs to actively participate on school teams to gain and exchange pertinent knowledge; identify school demands and expectations; and collaborate with fellow education partners to ensure that instruction, intervention, and services are educationally relevant and coordinated.
