title: Consultation and collaboration programs for individuals with autism.
abstract: Students with autism present a challenge to the SLP not only because of the severity of their communication disorders, but also because of the great variety of learning styles and social skills. Collaboration- and consultation-based service delivery systems offer an alternative to traditional therapy for these students. This model uses the strength of a team approach and permits strategies for improving communication that are not possible in other environments.
