Come get social with us! Clinical Research for SLPs

The Clinical Research for SLPs group on Facebook is growing fast! Let's take a look at what it has to offer:

• discussion on research applied to clinical practice (that is, real-world discussion on how to use all the great research that's published every month)
• discussion on practice applied to research (that is, what the scientists need to look at, and how, in order to best support SLPs)
• a mix of clinicians and scientists, chatting about how to make clinical practice more efficient and effective... chatting about how to make our jobs easier, better... so we can serve our primary function of supporting the clients!

Also, there's a weekly chat feature, where we invite experts to come give us great info and answer questions. Here's a small sample of folks we've invited:

• #Week1 Dr. Holly Storkel discussed Treatment Intensity. Ways to measure it, how to choose appropriate treatment intensity/schedule, how to know if intensity is right (what’s “enough”?), and caseload and workload issues.
• #Week2 Dr. Ignatius Nip discussed Pediatric Dysarthria, including current best-practice tips for treatment. Dr. Nip also had an excellent post on measuring intelligibility in pediatric clients.
• #Week9 Dr. Kelly Farquharson discussed Speech Sound Disorders and Reading Outcomes
• #Week10 Dr. Jennifer Pusins discussed Infant Feeding and Swallowing

You can go BACK to conversations you may have missed by searching these #week__ hashtags within the group (once you join). See the full schedule of past guests under the group's pinned announcement posts. 

Oh, and if you're wondering who "we" is? We have several group admins, a mix of SLPs and scientists, from different parts of the country and different universities. Learn about us here.
