In the April 2015 issue of Access Academics and Research, evidence-based practice was compared with evidence-based education to draw parallels between the work of clinicians and the work of academics in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). Practicing speech-language pathologists and audiologists and those who teach future clinicians all have a specialized literature to draw...
People think treatment research is just about finding a good method. It’s actually got more value — it can also be used to test theories. And that’s very important. The hardest part, I think is finding the interesting research question to begin with. It has to be of interest to...

This is the first article of a two-part series on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). This article provides an introductory discussion of SoTL: what it is, what the science shows, and its centrality to higher education in the 21st century. In the second article (due to be published...
What Are the QIs, and Why Were They Developed? The Quality Indicator (QI) self-assessment tool QI Questionnaire and Action Plan was created to help academic and clinical programs develop a shared understanding of and vision for successful integration of research and clinical practice. The QIs are not standards; the tool is intended...
Single-subject experimental designs – also referred to as within-subject or single case experimental designs – are among the most prevalent designs used in CSD treatment research. These designs provide a framework for a quantitative, scientifically rigorous approach where each participant provides his or her own experimental control. An Overview of...
I remember the day I received my first grant, funded by the National Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders—even though that day was almost 30 years ago. I was so excited; I made my research assistant dance a can-can with me. I would get release time from courses; I would...
