Inservice Training in Speech-Language Pathology

Are We Meeting the Needs for Fluency Training?

Ronald K. Sommers 1

1 Kent State University, Kent, OH

Inservice training needs in speech-language pathology were surveyed in two groups: (a) directors of university training programs and (b) supervisors of speech-language services in the schools. Additionally, the number of clock hours of preservice training in basic disorders and information concerning major weaknesses in inservice programs were supplied. Results were related to recent findings of preferences of speech-language pathologists for treatment of speech and language disorders and training needs identified by supervisors of clinical programs. Deficiencies in both preservice and inservice training of fluency disorders appeared to be related to lower preferences of speech-language pathologists to treat these disorders. Characteristics of effective inservice programs to enhance and upgrade speech-language pathologists' knowledge and skills were identified.

Key Words: inservice training, training of speech-language pathologists, training priorities, deficiencies in inservice training, inservice training opportunities
