A second cohort will be full-time graduate students in speech language pathology who are recruited to select an emphasis area of school-age speech pathology that includes additional and specialized training within a school based service delivery model.

Certified and licensed Speech-language pathologists will be supported in order to provide this training in the schools during fall and spring. During the summer a part time certified and licensed Speech-language pathologist will be hired to train these same students in the areas of adult speech, swallowing and language needed for certification that they cannot acquire during their school rotations. A student worker will be hired at 5 hours a week to support recruiting, tracking supervisor information and organizing training materials.
