Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this article is to present a commonly used ethical decision-making approach and apply it to ethical situations commonly encountered by school-based clinicians. The application of a multistep model enables the individual to explore ethical dilemmas through fully understanding the situation and analysis of resources. These steps, followed by brainstorming, facilitate the speech-language pathologist's ability to arrive at a positive solution. Conclusion School-based speech-language pathologists deal with a variety of ethical dilemmas. Resolution can take many forms, including application of federal and state policies; professional development; and, perhaps most importantly, conversations with colleagues and administrators. The more positive solutions stem from a thorough review of the issue and policies influencing the issue followed by brainstorming a variety of potential approaches.
