Speech & Language: Scientifically Based Professional Practice

Over the past several years, the need has grown for speech-language pathologists and audiologists to use evidence-based practice (EBP) in clinical decision-making, but for our discipline, like most others, the transition is not easy. One challenge we face is the scarcity of clinical practice research to guide clinical decisions and policy. Even where relevant literature exists, professionals often lack the time to evaluate and synthesize the research.

Learn about Speech-to-Text Services

Speech-to-text services deliver spoken information such as lectures, presentations, and classes as text on a computer screen in real time or as printed documents. Speech-to-text service is an appropriate accommodation for individuals with hearing impairments who are comfortable receiving information via text. Speech-to-text services often are used for students or others who do not use sign language interpreters or when course content has vocabulary more easily presented in print (e.g. foreign languages, medical courses).
