International Journal of Whole Schooling, v15 n1 p132-174 2019
This study describes data regarding inclusive related service provision for students with disabilities in public schools. Based on qualitative interviews from 15 related service providers (e.g., speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists), these data highlight foundational issues that impact the delivery of related services within inclusive educational contexts that is necessary for students with disabilities to benefit from special education. Results of the study document strategies for collaboration, providing flexible service delivery, and negotiating logistical barriers. Implications for the provision of inclusive related services are discussed in order to ensure that 'everyone has the right to be here'.
