2016-2017 Graduate Catalog

SLP 690 Speech-Language Pathology Capstone

Students will participate in a seminar project in which they identify a clinical case from their experience, identify a relevant intervention for this case, research the evidence base for the intervention, and prepare a detailed written report of the evidence for the intervention in which they discuss their evaluation of the level of evidence-both external and internal-available for the practice, describe additional research that would be needed to increase the level of evidence, and discuss what their review of the evidence would lead them to do about their original client, and others with similar strengths and needs that they may encounter in their practice. Students will give "grand rounds" oral presentations of their findings and submit a written account of their research in the format of a scholarly paper.
