Supporting Literacy Instruction for Students with Extensive Support Needs in Rural Settings through Collaboration: So Much Better When We Work Together!
Gosselin, Katrine S.; Sundeen, Todd H.
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v38 n1 p53-64 Mar 2019
The roles of teachers and related service providers (e.g., speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists) are vital to skill acquisition and meaningful access to the general education curriculum for students who have been identified as having significant or extensive support needs. However, often delivery of instruction can become fragmented and disjointed as time for service providers to collaborate with team members is limited in rural schools. As a result, students with more extensive support needs may not receive adequate access to systemic and meaningful literacy instruction. This article will identify the obstacles as well as three strategies special education teams can use to improve communication and collaboration.
