The education system in South Africa is struggling to help learners
to develop their full potential, particularly those from poor and
rural communities. Research has shown that a lack of communication
skills has become a major challenge and a barrier to learning for
many learners. The current situation in this country requires us to
consider not only children who have specific communication
impairments, but also those battling to develop communication
skills when their situation places them at a severe disadvantage.
Speech-language therapy in a school context is a much-needed
academic text for training students in speech-language therapy and
audiology to work effectively in an educational environment.
Speech-language therapy in a school context promotes collaborative
practices among professionals, including occupational therapists,
physiotherapists, learning support therapists and teachers, while
reinforcing the ethical principles and practices required by the
Health Professions Council of South Africa. It provides theory and
practical guidelines in line with the Revised National Curriculum
Statement and is supported by interactive learning activities.
Chapters include the following: Speech-language therapy in a
multicultural context; Inclusive education in South Africa;
Communication as a critical resource for everyday living, learning
and earning; Institutional language policies: the South African
Schools Act; Multilingualism and primary language impairment;
Ensuring culture-fair assessment and intervention; Integrated
classroom-based speech-language services; Augmentative and
alternative communication (AAC) systems; Educational psychology in
South Africa. Speech-language therapy in a school context is aimed
at students in speech-language therapy and audiology and is also a
valuable foundational text for practicing therapists.
