Assessment of school students' needs for therapy services
Abstract:
The development of a screening instrument to assess school students' needs for physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology is reported in this paper. Items for primary and secondary level students were generated by teachers and therapists to form a draft referral instrument for classroom teachers. Ninety six teachers in 18 metropolitan and country schools reviewed the four forms of the draft instrument with a total of 636 students. The results indicate that the draft Screening Instrument for Teacher Referral to Therapy Services in Schools (SRT) has face validity and utility in the educational setting. Plans to further refine the SRT items, and to conduct reliability and content validity studies are discussed.
