This article argues that the concept of educational mainstreaming should apply not only to handicapped children, but to the speech-language clinician (SLC) as well. By the application of considerable skills and insights into a wide range of public school experiences, the mainstreamed SLC becomes a more integral contributer to the learning processes of children. In so doing, benefits accrue not only to children but to teachers and the educational system as well as to the SLC.
