Delivery Models

This study examined the psychological well-being of students enrolled in two gifted programs with different service delivery models. Participants were 292 fifth- and sixth-grade students ( Mage = 11.70, SDage = 0.65) enrolled in a gifted math pull-out program ( n = 103), a self-contained gifted program ( n = 90), or a program providing no gifted services, which served as a control group ( n = 99). Multiple differences in psychological well-being across programs were revealed in Hierarchical Linear Models, particularly in terms of math self-concept, loneliness, and maladaptive perfectionism. Students in the two gifted programs reported different patterns of psychological well-being when compared with students in the no gifted services control group. These differences suggest distinct social phenomena underlying the two different service delivery models.

Delivery Models

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of three service delivery models in the elementary school setting. Differences were investigated between (a) a collaborative approach, (b) a classroom-based intervention model with the speech-language pathologist (SLP) and classroom teachers working independently, and (c) a traditional pull-out model for children in kindergarten through third grade who qualified for speech or language services. The same curricular vocabulary targets and materials were used in all conditions. This study also examined the vocabulary skills of regular education children who participated in the collaborative approach, the independent classroom-based model, or received instruction from only classroom teachers, without the SLP’s involvement. Results indicated the collaborative model was more effective for teaching curricular vocabulary to students who qualified for speech or language services than a classroom-based model (teacher-SLP independent) or a traditional pull-out model. The findings for students who were not enrolled in speech or language services indicated the collaborative and classroom-based models increased vocabulary skills to a significantly greater degree than receiving only regular instruction from the classroom teacher. The results are congruent with the theoretical advantages of the collaborative model reported in the literature and support the use of integrated service delivery models for intervention in the school setting.

Purpose: I surveyed ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in Virginia public schools to determine current practices used to treat the adolescent population. Method: I used survey methodology to gather data. The survey was researcher-developed and focused on service delivery models used by SLPs working in the public school system in the state of Virginia. Results: Results from this study revealed that SLPs who work in the public school system in Virginia continue to predominantly use traditional methods when serving adolescents. Conclusions: Traditional models have proven less effective, and therefore, the development of different service delivery models—collaborative models, integrated models, and peer models—to help teach and reinforce content area material has been necessary. Implementing these new models has proved challenging. Therefore, the traditional pull-out model appears to be the service delivery model that SLPs continue to use when working with the adolescent population.

Models Of Service Delivery

School-based occupational therapists provide direct services, with the child removed from the classroom and integrated, and consultative services within the classroom, involving the teacher and members of the teaching staff. The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of time that school-based therapists spend using direct/pull-out and integrative/consultative models of service delivery, to explore the attitudes of occupational therapists toward direct/pull-out and integrative/consultative services, and to identify variables associated with attitudes toward each. Written forced choice surveys were mailed to 321 school-based occupational therapists, and data analysis included 216 (67% of the sample). Therapists spent 47% of the time providing pull-out services and 53% of the time in the classroom and in consultation. Although the respondents indicated that they enjoyed one-on-one interaction with students, they disagreed that children with disabilities were best served when pulled out of the classroom. Attitudes toward consultation were positive; therapists enjoyed sharing their expertise and believed that therapy should be integrated throughout the school day. Time spent using pull-out services and consultation was highly related to attitude toward that service delivery model; therapists who provided primarily consultation were significantly lower in their ratings of the importance of direct, pull-out services. Therapists who were contracted by the school used pull-out services more than did those employed in the school (58% compared with 44%). School-based therapists appear to use a variety of service delivery models and have blended direct services with integrative/consultative services. They identified advantages to the use of both models and seem to believe that children are best served when direct services are combined with those that integrate therapy into the classroom and involve consultation with teachers.

Whether in our professional or private lives, we are all aware of the system wide efforts to provide quality healthcare services while containing the costs. Telemedicine as a method of service delivery has expanded as a result of changes in reimbursement and service delivery models. The growth and sustainability of telehealth within speech-language pathology and audiology, like any other service, depends on the ability to be reimbursed for services provided. Currently, reimbursement for services delivered via telehealth is variable and depends on numerous factors. An understanding of these factors and a willingness to advocate for increased reimbursement can bolster the success of practitioners interested in the telehealth as a service delivery method.

Abstract This study investigates whether intergenerational relationships and social support improve the psychological well-being of Korean older adults. We examine whether intergenerational relationships and social support directly influence psychological well-being and the extent to which they mediate the distressing consequences of life events such as declining health and recent widowhood. Using longitudinal data from the 2006 to 2016 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, we explore depression trajectories among individuals who are 60 or older with at least one living adult child at baseline. Specifically, we converted data from 5,383 older adults into a person-period file with 24,726 observations over a ten-year period. Then we estimated linear growth curve models of depression trajectories separately for men and women using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results from the hierarchical linear models indicate that declining health and recent widowhood are positively related to depressive symptoms. Satisfactory intergenerational relationships and social support in the form of personal interactions and proximate living arrangements with adult children decrease depressive symptoms of older parents, especially among women. We conclude that the psychological benefits of intergenerational relationships and social support are contingent upon the vulnerability of older adults and discuss the implications for public policy.
