SURVEYS OF PROFESSIONAL LITERATURE INDICATED THAT INTENSIVE CYCLE SCHEDULING FOR SPEECH AND HEARING THERAPY MIGHT YIELD BETTER RESULTS THAN MORE TRADITIONAL METHODS. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMS USING THIS NEW METHOD WERE ESTABLISHED IN FIVE SCHOOL SYSTEMS AS A FIELD TEST OF EFFICIENCY. THE 4 YEARS OF RESEARCH IN INTENSIVE CYCLE SCHEDULING IN THESE FIVE SYSTEMS RESULTED IN SEVERAL REVISIONS IN PROGRAM STANDARDS PRESENTED TO THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION. EACH OF THE FIVE STUDIES IS REPORTED BRIEFLY WITH THE ADVANTAGES SUMMARIZED AND SUGGESTIONS MADE ABOUT THE LENGTH AND NATURE OF THE INTENSIVE CYCLE SCHEDULING OF SPEECH AND HEARING THERAPY. (DF)
