What Do You Mean By That? Constructive Beginnings When Working With Adolescents With Language Learning Disabilities

Abstract

The authors recognize the challenges facing school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who are encouraged to create and deliver curriculum-focused and strategic-based intervention. The high school setting can be an especially daunting one but it is also a place where SLPs can use their expertise to participate in innovative partnerships with students and colleagues in the facilitation of language and literacy learning. This article outlines selected language initiates focused toward content area learning within a constructive comprehension framework.
