| Περίληψη: | Purpose: School speech-language pathologists (SLPs) routinely serve students whose communication needs intersect with attention, self-regulation, emotional functioning, and social behavior. Although SLPs are not trained as behavior specialists, behavioral challenges frequently shape students' engagement in therapy and influence whether and how speech-language intervention can be delivered. The purpose of this article is to submit that the foundational knowledge of behavior support is essential for protecting students' access to instruction, maintaining intervention dosage, and supporting equitable service delivery in school contexts. Method: This article contextualizes behavior as something that should be understood not as a competing focus or a separate domain but as an important, relevant condition that directly affects students' opportunity to benefit from intervention and access equitable educational services. When behavioral challenges and related barriers are not proactively addressed, instructional time can be severely limited, intervention fidelity can be compromised, and students may receive substantially less meaningful language input than intended. This article also specifically attends to how disciplinary silos between speech-language pathology and behavior specialist professions can limit collaboration and shared problem solving and how attunement to the issues at hand and the benefits of true interprofessional practice in aligning expertise can support student engagement, equitable access to education and services, and later academic, behavioral, and social success. Conclusion: This article concludes with implications for school-based practice and graduate preparation programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
