Abstract

Appropriate caseload size is a problem that has faced speech-language pathologists in the schools (“Recommended Service Delivery”, 1983) since school speech services were initiated in 1910 (Weaver, 1956). Clinical programs in the schools are often mandated by the state agencies to serve high numbers of communicatively impaired students. The quality of clinical programs may be questionable when speech-language pathologists attempt to serve such large numbers of students.
