I think it’s stronger when you have an interdisciplinary approach. We have a fairly active vestibular balance lab. There are four investigators that collaborate on research experiments. One physical therapist and three PhD audiologists. I guess what I’ve become really aware of is the contribution that other fields can bring...
I’ve spent a life trying to develop tasks, that are good tasks, that actually measure what we think they measure. When I think about it, I think the one common factor going through anything that I’ve ever tried to do, I would call and other people have called the “task...
First of all, I think we need to have more partnerships among researchers and school folks. It is very difficult, and I walk both sides of the line. But we are, at our university, successful at engaging partners in our school districts, especially with our doctoral students doing research. We...

The evidence-based practice movement has sought to tighten the link between research and practice. This movement has placed increased scrutiny on the quality and rigor of clinical practice research to ensure that the ‘tools of the trade’ are being objectively validated as having causal and beneficial effects on recipients. The Standard...

The following slides accompanied a presentation delivered at ASHA’s Clinical Practice Research Institute. The Logic of a Staged System of Clinical Research Let’s examine the fundamental logic underpinning a staged system of clinical research (that is easily applied to patient-oriented research) as developed in medicine. A protocol achieving status as...
