ABSTRACT

This study brings out the issues in ‘pull-out’ speech therapy that is a traditional method of speech therapy service offered for the students with disabilities in school settings. It is suggested that the school speech therapy service should be changed to classroom-based language intervention. A review of recent literature on collaborative teaming for classroom-based language interventions in schools is presented to provide: (1) understanding of the collaborative teaming, (2) legal bases and historical transition of speech therapy, (3) rationale for transition from traditional speech therapy to classroom-based language intervention, (4) an example of practices of classroom-based language intervention in the context of elementary social studies lessons.
