Summary: What are competencies, and why do they matter? This course explores what competencies are, how they are developed, how they are used, and how they can benefit an individual professional as well as an entire profession. This is the first of four courses in the Career Pathways: Exploring Competency Frameworks series.

Summary: In this panel discussion, an audiologist and a speech-language pathologist share how they are currently using competencies in their practices to enhance client, patient, and student care. The panelists also discuss the drivers for implementing competencies at their workplaces, their colleagues' responses to the shift to using competencies, and the benefits they have experienced at the individual and organization level. This is the last of four courses in the Career Pathways: Exploring Competency Frameworks series.

Summary: This course explores specific ways that developing competencies benefits a profession. The speaker discusses and shares examples of how competencies provide training pathways, ensure well-qualified professionals, inform performance evaluations, and create a common understanding. This is the third of four courses in the Career Pathways: Exploring Competency Frameworks series.

Summary: This course explores why embedding competencies in practice is useful and introduces a framework for doing so. The speaker discusses using competencies as a tool for professional growth, including methods for evaluating competency and the benefits and challenges of each method. This is the second of four courses in the Career Pathways: Exploring Competency Frameworks series.

Summary: While multiple factors may influence the training of future communication sciences and disorders (CSD) professionals, universities must prepare students to work in a diverse and evolving world. There are many ways to promote essential concepts like cultural humility and inclusive practices within preservice and professional practice. This course offers practical strategies for integrating diverse perspectives, ensuring students develop and utilize the skills necessary to serve diverse populations and foster belonging in professional settings.

Summary: It is commonly understood that better outcomes for management and treatment of hearing loss can be linked to greater knowledge and acceptance of the condition by the patient/client/student and their family. This presentation discusses the need and development of an accessible and neutral site where individuals and their families can access diverse information and a variety of literature around topics related to hearing loss. It will also cover the steps for the development of a cultural and informational center, including tips on fundraising and overall management.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: This SIG 11 Perspectives activity addresses the use of single-subject design in clinical education and supervision. In this article, the authors highlight the suitability of single-subject experimental design (SSED) to clinical practice research, particularly within supervisory settings. This practical tutorial provides examples of SSED and suggests possible research topics relevant to clinical education and supervision.

Summary: In the rising digital era, and especially since the pandemic, implementation of telehealth and provision of auditory rehabilitation (AR) using digital platforms have notably increased. This has changed the outlook of service provision by audiologists and speech-language pathologists alike. Digital platforms have the potential to positively impact AR practices by improving accessibility of rehabilitation services as well as by facilitating a more effective way to share resources with both professionals and end users. This SIG 7 activity includes two articles about the accessibility and effectiveness of digital platforms to provide AR services for both adults and children with hearing difficulties. The first article discusses the differences in the distribution strategy, users’ experience, and satisfaction for two digital platforms (a static website and an active blog) offering AR materials for professionals. Their study concludes that social media–focused active distribution is effective because it results in more total traffic, a greater number of users, more frequent access, and an overall high level of satisfaction with the quality of information and resources. The second article discusses the details of a Zoom-based telepractice initial evaluation protocol used by speech-language pathologists serving children who are hard of hearing and their families. This clinical protocol was designed to synchronously share resources and questionnaires with family members of children who are hard of hearing. Authors suggest that providing AR services through telepractice facilitates high-quality diagnostics and counseling to the same extent as that of in-person diagnostic sessions.
