Results of a survey of speech-language pathologists who had adopted (i.e., adopters) or who were considering adopting (i.e., nonadopters) integrated speech and language services are presented. The survey was designed to obtain information regarding speech-language pathologists' perceptions of their expertise and the expertise of classroom teachers (CTs), integrated service delivery approaches they had adopted, the types of speech and language services provided in the classroom, and the characteristics of students served. Adopters' and nonadopters' perceptions regarding factors that contribute to effective integrated service delivery are reported, along with perceived advantages and disadvantages for speech-language pathologists, CTs, caseload students, and noncaseload students. Implications of survey results for inservice and preservice training and the future implementation of integrated speech and language services are considered as well.
