School-Based Speech-Language Pathology Services During Emergency Situations: A Guide for Practitioners and Districts (July 2020): NJSHA was invited to provide to the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) recommendations and input regarding best practices when responding to emergency school closures under a temporary rule modification to allow the use of teletherapy. This detailed document provides guidance for school-based SLSs and Districts regarding telepractice during emergency school closures, including technical needs of SLSs and students; therapy and assessment; and reopening /recovery suggestions for personal and environmental health. New Jersey Tiered System of Supports (NJTSS) (2015): NJTSS is a framework of academic and behavioral supports and interventions to improve student achievement, based on the core components of multi-tiered systems of supports (MTSS) and the three-tier prevention logic of Response to Intervention (RTI). With a foundation of strong district and school leadership, a positive school culture and climate, and family and community engagement, NJTSS builds upon intervention and referral services (I&RS) and gives schools a structure to meet the academic, behavioral, health, enrichment, and social-emotional needs of all students. NJTSS Dyslexia Handbook (2015): The purpose of The New Jersey Dyslexia Handbook: A Guide to Early Literacy Development & Reading Struggles is to provide information to educators, students, families, and community members about dyslexia, early literacy development, and the best practices for identification, instruction, and accommodation of students who have reading difficulties.
