"It's a Lot of Collaboration": Related Service Providers Supporting Literacy Instruction for Learners Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication.
Article in Language, speech, and hearing services in schools, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeCollaborative teaming has been found to be one of the most critical components in maximizing student outcomes in individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). This study aimed to understand roles, barriers, and facilitators of related service providers when working on and collaborating in literacy instruction with learners who use AAC to maximize literacy outcomes.
methodThis study used an exploratory-descriptive qualitative design based on an in-person focus group of related service providers (occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists) who all contribute to the development and implementation of literacy goals for students who use AAC. Qualitative analysis methods were used to transcribe and code the data thematically.
resultsAfter analysis, four themes and nine subthemes were identified by the research team. Results highlight considerations including positioning and access, coaching, direct instruction, defined roles, common goals, and collaboration. Although the qualitative study captures the perspectives of members of a single school team, the findings help to support future research directions and implementation facilitators.
conclusionsThere is limited research that documents the various roles of related service providers when considering literacy adaptations and implementation (e.g., positioning needs to access literacy materials, the consistency of instruction, and increasing time in instruction). Collaborative teaming and goal planning among related service providers can potentially maximize literacy instruction for learners who use AAC.
