The development of inclusion raises questions regarding appropriate provision, whether the tradition of language units or full inclusion into mainstream schools.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Aims<\/jats:italic>: To gather the views of speech and language therapy service managers in England and Wales regarding approaches to service delivery, terminology and decision\u2010making for educational provision, and the use of direct and indirect (consultancy) models of intervention.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Method &amp; Procedures<\/jats:italic>: The study reports on a national survey of speech and language therapy (SLT) services in England and Wales (129 respondents, 72.1% response rate) and interviews with 39 SLT service managers.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Outcomes &amp; Results<\/jats:italic>: Provision varied by age group with support to children in the mainstream common from pre\u2010school to the end of Key Stage 2 (up to 11 years), and to those in designated specialist provision, common at Key Stages 1\/2 (ages 5\u201311 years), but less prevalent at Key Stages 3\/4 (11\u201316 years). Decision\u2010making regarding provision was influenced by the lack of common terminology, with SSLD and specific language impairment (SLI) the most common, and criteria, including the use of the discrepancy model for defining SSLD. Practice was influenced by the difficulties in distinguishing children with SSLD from those with autistic spectrum disorder, and difficulties translating policies into practice.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: The implications of the study are discussed with reference to SLT practice, including consultancy models, and the increasingly prevalent policy in local education authorities of inclusion of children with special educational needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/13682820500442073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,3]],"date-time":"2006-07-03T01:42:31Z","timestamp":1151890951000},"page":"423-440","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Educational provision for children with specific speech and language difficulties: perspectives of speech and language therapy service managers"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Julie E.","family":"Dockrell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geoff","family":"Lindsay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Becky","family":"Letchford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clare","family":"Mackie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08856250210162121"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199606000-00022"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469-7610.00114"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13682820310001617001"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/136828298247820"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/136828298247938"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","first-page":"166","article-title":"Autism and MMR","volume":"15","author":"Charman T.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Psychologist"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469-7610.00022"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jslhr.4004.765"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","volume-title":"Excellence for All Children","author":"Departmentfor Educationand Employment","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","volume-title":"Meeting Special Educational Needs: A Plan for Action","author":"Department for Education and Employment","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_1","volume-title":"Special Educational Needs","author":"Departmentfor Educationand Science","year":"1978"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_1","volume-title":"The SEN Code of Practice","author":"Departmentfor Educationand Skills","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_1","volume-title":"Removing Barriers to Achievement: The Government's Strategy for SEN","author":"Department for Education and Skills","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/026565909801400201"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/088562500361682"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/03054980120067410"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-94-017-1731-1_22"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002221949703000408"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/0161-1461(2002\/008)"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2004.00326.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_23_1","volume-title":"Reconstructing Educational Psychology","author":"Gillham W.","year":"1978"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"591","DOI":"10.3109\/13682829809179491","article-title":"Specialised service to children with specific language impairment in the mainstream schools","volume":"33","author":"Hirst E.","year":"1998","journal-title":"International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_25_1","volume-title":"Adequate Provision?
