Using response to intervention for speech sound disorders : exploring practice characteristics and geographical differences, 2018
Scope and Content Note
The series contains Master's theses from 1943 to present. The theses consist of either a production book and a media component or solely a production book. The production books were originally submitted as physical bound copies, but were later submitted digitally. The physical production books are stored offsite and the digital production books are stored in the College's preservation repository.
The media components consist of U-matic tapes, VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays and changed to digital submissions in 2020. There are also a handful of audiocassette tapes and one USB. The media components are stored onsite at the Archives.

Overview
"Speech sound disorders (SSDs) comprise a large percentage of school-based speech-language pathologists’ (SLPs) caseloads. Many service delivery models have been proposed to manage rising caseload sizes. One particular approach, Response to Intervention (RTI), was introduced in the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This model ensures that children who do not require special education services still receive individualized support. Given the risk for literacy impairments in children with SSDs, it is imperative to explore how RTI is implemented for this population of children. In this study, we asked 575 school-based SLPs if they implement RTI for children with SSDs. Further, we explored which practice characteristics and geographical factors may be associated with the use of RTI for children with SSDs. Results revealed that SLPs with smaller caseloads are more likely to implement RTI for children with speech sound disorders. Clinical and legislative implications are discussed." --Abstract.
