It was helpful to have a reminder about Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions. I get a lot of push back in my district from teachers about completing teacher referral forms, but I like the idea of having concrete steps to give teachers before agreeing to complete an evaluation for a student.

I appreciated the support and response to showing why a student does/doesn't need SLI, especially for articulation and the social impacts. I appreciated the recommendation in order to involve more staff/resources to support the student. I agree that we are a team not always a silo and that I now have more data to prove this point.

How to ask family about the exclusionary factors regarding poverty, exposure, etc. I also have an ethical dilemma with knowing that some students have lack of exposure to speech/language from birth-5, possibly d/t systemic inequities, but showing up to kindergarten with significant delays and not qualifying them.

The interesting thing about this course is that a co-worker and I had just had the discussion that oftentimes teachers, parents, and even admin do not recognize the difference between medical-based and school-based speech therapy services. We are having a difficult time as SLPs in the school system with outside practices sending us recommendations on what to do with a student when the student does not even qualify for services in the school system. That is hard to make parents understand.

With over 20 years of experience in public schools, I've seen how much things have changed over the years. The instructor’s insights were right on target. I'd point out that the RTI/MTSS process can differ from state to state and county to county, and the training available to SLPs/SLPAs on these processes can vary as well. Ongoing, accurate education on these topics is crucial for SLPs to thrive in this environment. Additionally, increasing caseloads contribute significantly to SLP burnout.
