Abstract
Background: Children growing up in Australian rural communities have more communication impairments than their urban counterparts. Communication impairments, if left unresolved in school starters, lead to long-term learning and behavioural problems. Rural communities are disadvantaged by a scarcity of health professionals.
Methods: Supervised speech pathology students on rural clinical placement provided speech, language and communication screening, assessment and therapy to children starting kindergarten in Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia. The students collected service outcome data for children in the program.
Results: Analysis of the outcome data demonstrated improvements in communication impairments for approximately one-quarter of the children.
