Micro Course
While clinicians may know the fundamentals of evidence-based practice (EBP), many struggle to implement EBP in real-world situations with their clients. Often, this is due to limited research, a lack of high-quality research, or the absence of a clear takeaway from external scientific literature. In this course, participants will learn more about these obstacles and strategies to overcome them. Learning how to navigate these barriers will assist clinicians in making patient-centered and evidence-based clinical decisions.
This course is the third in a series of micro courses on Evidence-Based Decision-Making, which use clinical scenario activities to help you to sharpen your EBP skills.

SLPs and audiologists alike may struggle to implement evidence-based practice (EBP) into their daily practice because they simply don’t have the time or resources to keep up with a rapidly growing research base. ASHA’s Evidence Maps serve as a time-saving, free, online tool that provides clinicians with a quick synopsis of synthesized research related to clinical practice. New and experienced users of the Evidence Maps will learn the ins and outs of features and navigation via a case study and guided practice to better locate and assess relevant research evidence to integrate into clinical decision-making.

Audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and assistants strive to provide client-centered, evidence-based care, but they may have questions: What is considered evidence-based practice (EBP)? How do I make an evidence-based clinical decision? Are there tools for simplifying the EBP process? This course illuminates EBP concepts and guides you through clinical scenario activities while highlighting free, time-saving ASHA EBP resources and tools, such as ASHA's EBP Toolkit. Learn new strategies and bolster your evidence-based decision-making skills.

Many SLPs who provide early intervention (EI) services are aware of the neurodiversity paradigm and neurodiversity-affirming practices but still have questions about incorporating these practices into their services. In this on demand webinar (available beginning April 6, 2024), the presenter will review practical resources and evidence-based practices for implementing neurodiversity-affirming care in the EI setting, including practical strategies for assessment, goal writing, parent coaching, and intervention.

Medical professionals who use hearing aids can face challenges when they need to perform auscultation (listening to sounds from various organs, most often with a stethoscope) as part of their job. While the options may not seem straightforward, audiologists can play a key role in helping these medical professionals find an amplified stethoscope solution. This on demand webinar (available beginning March 21, 2024) will discuss key considerations, potential options, and practical steps for helping medical professionals with hearing loss obtain the best solution.

Ototoxic medications and chemical agents in the workplace can put individuals' hearing
and vestibular health at risk for permanent injury. Proactive ototoxicity management
(OtoM) strategies aim to minimize exposure, avoid onset of symptoms, provide ongoing
monitoring, and manage auditory and vestibular changes as the clinical needs of the
patient evolve. During a 2021 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Special
Interest Groups Open House, members of the International Ototoxicity Management
Group discussed how best to integrate OtoM into routine clinical practice, what tools to
use, and what special considerations need to be understood to best support patients and
their families. Here, we have summarized their viewpoints to encourage widespread
adoption of improved OtoM services for at-risk individuals. The field of audiology needs
to move to a place where we better understand the full extent of ototoxicity and can
agree on expanding minimum guidelines that can be implemented more universally to
mitigate, detect, and manage the damage from ototoxic exposures. Only recently has
our field seen a therapeutic drug that can protect against ototoxicity; however, the
population served is restricted only to children receiving treatment for nonmetastatic
carcinoma. This is hopefully just the beginning of future therapeutic interventions to
come, but, in the meantime, ototoxicity resulting from other medications in different
patient populations and chemical agents persists.

Many clinicians may feel they lack the time, skills, or competence to effectively address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); it might feel like one more thing on an already-long list of considerations and requirements. But if we focus on our passion for working with people and change our perspective about providing culturally responsive services, then it's not more work, it is the work. This course discusses the value of addressing DEI as part of audiology and SLP services and provides practical ideas for doing so.

These SIG 13 articles underscore the importance of being up to date of dysphagia
intervention as the diagnosis has many complexities in assessment and treatment.
Larsen et al. surmise that current characteristics and physiological rationale may
overestimate the skills required for gelatin-based desserts and inappropriately classify
them as nontransitional foods. Therefore, as with all products, individual gelatin-based
desserts should be tested at the time of presentation to the patient. Mancopes et al.
discuss the importance of strategies for facilitating safe and functional bottle feeding in
children with dysphagia include selecting nipples that reduce flow rate, pacing, altered
positioning, and thickening liquid consistencies. Their study aims to determine the
impact of slightly thick liquids on swallowing through retrospective review of a
convenience sample of clinical videofluoroscopies (VFSS) from 60 bottle-fed children (21
male, mean age 9.9 months) referred due to suspected aspiration. Garand et al. perform
a retrospective analysis of persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using modified
barium swallow studies and recommend use of functional scales to help evaluate and
treat this special population.

This trio of SIG 13 articles provides information regarding managing and treating
dysphagia with adult patients. First, Abrams and co-authors underscore the importance
of hydration and discovered that individuals consuming thickened liquids are often at risk
for dehydration. Factors to increase fluid intake through different strategies are
discussed. Next, Arguello and Kerr discuss the mechanism of a facial burn injury and
how it may cause functional impairments that can be directly impacted through early
intervention utilizing speech-language pathology services. Finally, Warner and
colleagues completed a pilot study investigating the prevalence of pretreatment
dysphagia in oncologic patients and individual factors influencing post treatment
dysphagia.
