As part of the innovative What Every Speech-Language Pathologist/Audiologist Should Know series, this primer shows students how to conduct and complete a successful service-learning project using a proven step-by-step approach.

Using examples of service-learning projects and "how-to" strategies throughout, What Every Speech-Language Pathologist/Audiologist Should Know about Service-Learning breaks the service-learning project down into manageable segments, including the process of selecting a site, specifying duties, and completing the project. Sample procedures, tools, forms, and contracts model how to conduct successful service-learning projects and the text is filled with critical supports for faculty, supervising clinicians and students.
