A practice analysis is the primary mechanism for describing the tasks or clinical activities, knowledge, and skills underlying the practice of speech-language pathology. The results of this analysis establish the job relatedness of decisions concerning standards, curriculum redesign, and professional certification.
In the age of No Child Left Behind, speech-language pathologists are increasingly involved in the services provided to students struggling in the area of reading. Children’s spellings can be used to gain insight into a student’s word-level literacy skills, including phonological awareness, orthographic knowledge, semantic knowledge, morphological awareness, and the ability to store mental graphic representations.
Learn the fundamental principles of cognitive rehabilitation that underlie any successful dementia intervention with adults, and explore evidence-based, practical approaches for the appropriate measurement of functional treatment outcomes.
Review current assessment strategies for children with severe speech impairment (ages 1–7), including possible CAS. Videotaped examples support the discussion, which emphasizes differential diagnosis based on diagnostic markers and interpretation of a child’s responses during assessment tasks.The relative effects of motor speech impairment and cognitive/linguistic skills on a child’s communication disorder are considered.
Focus on treatment techniques for children with CAS (ages 1–7), with special emphasis on clinical decision-making for this population. Review principles of motor learning and the rationale for incorporating these principles into treatment. Implementation of treatment techniques is discussed and modeled in video examples.
Thirty-eight Let’s Talk handouts on specific topics provide a starting point for conversations with the speech-language pathologist and clients and their families. For those handouts addressing disorders, the intent was to provide some background information about the particular disorder but to primarily focus on how the SLP can help clients improve their speech, language, or swallowing. Topics related to assessment and intervention focus on the role the SLP plays in such activities.
New! This brochure explains what SLPs do, where they work, and how to decide when it's time to go see one.
This program explores current topics in the development of such critical reading precursors as vocabulary knowledge, narrative ability, phonological awareness, and print knowledge. Aspects of the reading and writing abilities of elementary school students are also considered.
Ensuring that children identified with hearing loss receive recommended follow-up is challenging. This program explores the need for standardized data definitions and reporting for EHDI programs, how well a university hearing clinic is able to meet its follow-up goals, and issues surrounding the consistency of hearing aid use by infants post-identification.
Over time, multiple factors have eroded the deficit view of AAE, in favor of a difference perspective. This program explores the validity of the Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) for children who speak AAE, the type and adequacy of cohesive devices that are produced by school-age children who use AAE, and examines research initiatives that can expand knowledge about this population.
Created exclusively for ASHA by artist Sandra Magsamen, this rich poster explores the importance of communication, both with and without words.
Designed exclusively for ASHA by artist Sandra Magsamen, this colorful poster was created to celebrate the many ways we can express ourselves with and without words.
When There Are No Words explores the significant ways in which we can relate to each other without words. It is a playful reminder of the power that lives in subtle gestures, passionate embraces, and the wink of an eye; it is a celebration of the human connection, for it reveals how actions make us understood and help us to understand others.
Overwhelming evidence suggests that U.S. classrooms are too noisy and reverberant, contributing to negative effects on teacher performance, speech perception, reading/spelling ability, student behavior, attention, concentration and educational achievement. Using the most recent ASHA policy documents and ANSI standards, this forum provides evidence on the prevalence of this problem, acoustic solutions, and methods for advocacy and implementation.

Learn the benefits of the RTI model, as compared to the “wait to fail” model of special education, and how to create a program at your school.
Get the guidance you need to implement response to intervention (RTI) in your school district. RTI is a multi-tiered approach to helping struggling learners early and effectively so they avoid failure and succeed in school.
