The Speech-Language Pathologist’s Role in Literacy

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has developed several important documents for SLPs as they link oral language to literacy. These include practice guidelines and a technical report describing Roles and Responsibilities of Speech-Language Pathologists With Respect to Reading and Writing in Children and Adolescents (2001) and the recently published Knowledge and Skills Needed by Speech-Language Pathologists with Respect to Reading and Writing in Children and Adolescents (2002).
