Within the RTI model, how does speech/language intervention differ from the traditional (e.g., clinical/medical) model of service delivery?
What will be an ideal response?
Traditionally, the speech/language therapist has employed a medical model of treatment in which students are assessed and treated individually or in small groups apart from the classroom. Within the RTI framework, speech/language therapists have a more collaborative role with other professionals in the school and with parents. They use a combination of direct and indirect service models. They may assist the teacher in co-teaching language concepts in class. They may also provide school personnel with information and training regarding oral language and the linguistic bases of reading and writing. In addition, they may develop and demonstrate lessons that promote language in the classroom.
