Students’ language skills are a foundational component to their overall success, indicating the importance of rich language environments in classrooms. It is critical for teachers to understand how to create an environment aimed at maximizing language as they’re likely to have students with language disorders in their classroom. Typically, teachers receive minimal training on students with language disorders and how to support them academically. This paper discusses the significance of interdisciplinary collaborative relationships between speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and general education teachers to achieve a language rich environment in the classroom. We (a) introduce the essential components to an effective SLP-teacher partnership, (b) address barriers and provide plausible solutions, (c) overview common types of language disorders, (d) provide tips on how to use language-supportive strategies, and (e) discuss different types of effective partnerships to support students.

学生的语言能力是他们取得整体成功的基础，这表明在教室中丰富语言环境的重要性。对于教师来说，至关重要的是要了解如何创建一个旨在最大程度地提高语言水平的环境，因为他们很可能会在课堂上招收语言障碍学生。通常，教师对语言障碍学生以及如何在学术上提供支持方面的培训最少。本文讨论了言语病理学家（SLP）与通识教育教师之间跨学科协作关系对于在教室中实现语言丰富环境的重要性。我们（a）为有效的SLP-教师合作伙伴关系引入基本要素，（b）解决障碍并提供合理的解决方案，（c）概述常见的语言障碍类型，
