In der Tat stellen wir seit 2022 wiederholt undifferenzierte Berichterstattung auf Grundlage von Berichten der Krankenkassen fest. Hier bedarf es einer Einordnung, zum Beispiel: www.instagram.com/p/Ci5LIcFMRJ...

In my opinion, inclusion and equity aren’t opposites.
In my opinion, treating all children the same, despite differing needs, is unfair.
Hence, individualized logopedic/SLT support enables true inclusion.
And: inclusion mustn’t be used as an excuse for staff cuts at schools.

These legal, structural, and ideological barriers make it difficult for logopedists/SLTs to play a meaningful role in schools. However, I remain optimistic that #DLD #awareness and #advocacy can drive change, highlighting the long-term benefits of communicative support for academic success. (4/4)

Unfortunately, these inclusion policies coincided w staffing reductions in specialized logopedic expertise. As a result children’s access to targeted therapies has been further restricted in some states. „Inclusion is not removing children from their classrooms for individualized therapy“ (3/4)

Another challenge arises from Germany’s implementation of the UN’s #inclusion mandate. Many special education schools, which once offered critical support for children with speech and language needs, have been closed to favor fully inclusive classrooms. (2/4)

Thank you for your thoughtful question! One major hurdle is legal: In Germany, logopedists/SLTs can only provide therapeutic services with a physician’s prescription. This restriction prohibits them from working directly in schools, as schools are not classified as health settings. (1/4)

However, SLTs should be allowed to become an integral part of schools to ensure successful inclusion in the education system, lowering long waiting times, and have direct access without unnecessary detours.

Since there’re good examples from other countries we appreciate your support to achieve this

Different to the US, UK, Saitzerland and EU countries, SLTs are not allowed to provide services at schools YET …

If it is not the number of peer review requests that increases, but rather the number of manuscripts per request, could this indicate that the publisher already assumes the use of AI is permissible? academic.oup.com/healthaffair...
