Abstract

Purpose: To examine the extent to which intervention intensity parameters are present in speech-language pathology treatment plans in educational and medical settings. Method: 120 treatment plans (46 educational and 74 medical) from northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin were examined for intervention intensity parameters specified by Warren and colleagues (Warren, Fey & Yoder, 2007). Results: Educational records: 65% specified dose frequency and 28% specified total duration. Medical records: 69% specified dose frequency and 55% specified total duration. No treatment plans recorded all intervention intensity parameters. Conclusion: It is possible that (a) dosage parameters may not be well-known among practicing SLPs and/or (b) therapists may already document intervention intensity but not systematically within the treatment plans. If speech-language pathologists documented intervention intensity in one document, SLPs and researchers may have more resources to provide evidence-based practice for clients.
