- Abstract
In spring 2011, the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, implemented an interprofessional education (IPE) experience for student speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) and student teachers. One of the constructs addressed and assessed through the IPE experience was related to knowledge and application of models of specialized service delivery in schools. Directed content analysis methods were used to analyze participant responses on surveys before and after the IPE experience. Results from the surveys showed that after the IPE experience students were able to describe more models of specialized service delivery. The IPE experience also included a collaborative case study that asked small mixed-discipline groups of students to develop an intervention plan for a hypothetical classroom. Analysis of group responses on the case studies showed that students applied a variety of models of service delivery to address student and classroom speech, language, and communication needs.
