RESOLVED, That the following ASHA policy document be rescinded: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. (1998). Training guidelines for laryngeal videoendoscopy/stroboscopy, Rockville, MD: Author; and further
RESOLVED, That “Knowledge and Skills for Speech-Language Pathologists with Respect to Vocal Tract Visualization and Imaging” be published in a supplement of The ASHA Leader, be posted on the ASHA professional Web site, be made available upon request from the ASHA Action Center, and be included in the next revision of the ASHA Desk Reference, and that the availability of the document be announced in The ASHA Leader.
Rationale: This knowledge and skills document was developed by the ASHA-Special Interest Division 3 Working Group on Voice and Voice Disorders: Julie Barkmeier-Kraemer (chair), Glenn W. Bunting, Douglas M. Hicks, Michael P. Karnell, Stephen C. McFarlane, Robert E. Stone, Shelley Von Berg, Thomas L. Watterson, Alex F. Johnson (monitoring vice president), Amy Knapp (ex officio), and Diane Paul-Brown (ex officio). The current policy document being updated was approved by ASHA’s Legislative Council at its November 1991 meeting (LC51 G-91): American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. (1992, March). Vocal tract visualization and imaging. Asha, 34(Suppl. 7), 37-40. The document, prepared by the Ad Hoc Committee on Advances in Clinical Practice, included a position statement and guidelines and delineated knowledge and skills for speech-language pathologists who perform vocal tract imaging and visualization procedures. The Working Group developed this knowledge and skills document using sections from the 1992 document on vocal tract visualization and imaging. This Knowledge and Skills document also drew from the following document: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. (1998). Training guidelines for laryngeal videoendoscopy/stroboscopy. Rockville, MD: Author.
