Overview
This book is a great resource for instructors of methods courses preparing practicum students for school-based experiences. It is also ideal for the professional speech-language pathologist who is seeking an overview of current issues in school-based services and practical solutions that have worked. Cutting edge service delivery models are described. The concept of a workload analysis approach to caseload standards in schools is introduced and implementation strategies are offered. Concrete, real life, success stories are shared. Strategies for proactive behavior management, conflict resolution, professional collaboration, conferencing and counseling, cultural competency, writing IEP goals (post IDEA ý04), informal assessment procedures, and creating testing accommodations are offered. Real life scenarios based on experiences shared by public school speech-language pathologists gives the reader concrete examples upon which to scaffold these complex professional concepts. The Oral Language Curriculum Standards Inventory is a must-have authentic assessment tool in this era of inclusive practices.

Review
Joneen Lowman, PhD (Bloomsburg University), Doody's Review Service, (2008):
"The organization of the book helps readers understand the concepts. The author addresses topics such as caseload management and behavior management, which are critical issues to speech-language pathologists in the schools. Overall, the information is relevant. The strength of this book is its utility.
The author provides numerous examples and appendixes that are directly applicable to the school setting with little effort necessary on the part of clinicians -- they can simply copy and implement. This feature will help new clinicians implement quality practices."
