Service and Support

The role of the speech pathologist is negotiated to meet the needs of each school and is formalized in a service agreement. The school can select from a range of services base on the Response to Intervention (RTI) model, a best practice model for the provision of speech pathology services in schools.

  • Upskill and build staff capacity, support parents, provide student intervention
  • Support setting up and implementing a Response to Intervention Model (RTI)
