2 CLINICAL PRACTICUM 1. Students have two files in the department: an academic file and a practicum file. The practicum file must be complete before a student may complete the program of study. 2. Students may begin clinical practicum after they have successfully completed CSD 510, Clinical Methods, with a grade of B or better. 3. You must arrange your clinical practicum experiences at either your employment setting or an identified alternate setting. Please submit the Student Practicum Information Sheet (see page B 10) to the Program Coordinator when you make your clinical practicum arrangements. Students must identify alternate practicum settings, in writing, before beginning the practicum. 4. Clinical practicum requires enrollment in 2 courses of CSD 602 Clinical Practicum for two summers, for a total of 6 semester credit hours. Course requirements are defined in the CSD 602 Clinical Practicum Course Syllabus included in this handbook (page B 8 and B 9). 5. ASHA Certification Standard III B stipulates completion of at least 350 clock hours of supervised clinical experiences that concern the evaluation and treatment of children and adults with disorders of speech, language and hearing (see ASHA Handbook or go to website at These hours must be completed after you have completed 25 clock hours of supervised observation. It is expected that you will complete at least 150 practicum clock hours during your CSD 602 enrollments with the remainder (200 hours) obtained during your externship. 6. In your clinical practicum at least 50 supervised clock hours must be completed in each of at least two different settings. These two settings may be defined within your current work setting as pre-school, high school or self-contained vs normal classroom settings. If your current employment setting does not permit identification of clinical activities as at least two distinct settings, you will have to establish a clinical practicum in an alternate setting. 7. Twenty (20) of your clinical practicum hours must be in audiology and must be completed according to ASHA standards. See ASHA Certification Standard III-B for details. If you completed audiology screening hours as an undergraduate, these may be applied toward fulfilling this requirement. Please send documentation to the Program Coordinator. 8. Up to 100 clinical clock hours completed during an undergraduate program may be applied toward clinical practicum requirements. These hours also fulfill one setting requirement, if they total at least 50 (and no more than 100) hours. To apply these hours toward your clinical clock hour requirements, please send the Program Coordinator a log copy of all undergraduate practicum hours, signed by a certified supervisor. Rev. May 2002 B 2

3 FACULTY CLINICAL MENTORS Faculty Clinical Mentors are the link between your clinical education site and the university program. Please feel free to contact your mentor for any matters related to your clinical education. Faculty Clinical Mentors are assigned according to the first letter of your last name. If you change your name you will stay assigned to your original mentor. They will review and evaluate your case summaries and be available for any clinical therapy questions. Clinical Mentor Activities Include: 1. Supervisory Interactions with Practicum Students and Supervisors as Needed 2. Review of 5 Case Summaries for the first 25 Clock Hours 3. Practicum/Externship Supervisor Interactions 4. Clinical Therapy Advice Dr. Judith King Phone: (928) Dr. William Culbertson Phone: (928) Dr. Elise Lindstedt Phone: (928) Dr. Dennis Tanner Phone: (928) Dr. Mary Oelschlaeger Phone: (928) A,B,C Judith.King@nau.edu D,E,F,G,H Bill.Culbertson@nau.edu I,J,K,L,M Elise.Lindstedt@nau.edu N,O,P,Q,R Dennis.Tanner@nau.edu S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z Mary.Oelschlaeger@nau.edu Please direct all clinical therapy and diagnostic questions to the above Faculty Clinical Mentors. CLINICAL PRACTICUM SUPERVISION The first 25 hours of your clinical practicum (following the ASHA mandated 25 observation hours) require review by a Faculty Clinical Mentor. To obtain this review, you must prepare case summary reports representing the first 5 hours of treatment for 5 clients seen during this period. Rev. May 2002 B 3

4 The format of these case summary reports is presented on the Case Summary Reports Instructions form (page B 5). Students must follow the form format. The required information should fit on a single page or, at most, two. Prior to writing these summaries, you must obtain permission for the release of this information to NAU. You may use NAU's Request for Diagnostic Evaluation and/or Therapy Services form (page B 7) or your site s form to document permission. Release permission forms are required, and practicum grades will not be posted unless they are included in the student s practicum file. Use only client's first and last initials on the form (not the full name). To complete case summaries: Identify 5 cases from your current caseload and prepare case summaries on each based on the first 5 hours of treatment. Include only the information required in the Case Summary Reports form (page B 6). Mail your case summaries, client release forms and corresponding clock hour form(s) to the Program Coordinator by October 15. Remaining hours and grade/evaluation sheet (page B 15 and B 16) should be submitted by the end of fall semester. If not, your grade will be recorded as IP (in progress). Please note that you will not receive a grade for Clinical Practicum I or be registered for your Clinical Practicum II until this process is completed. Upon receipt of your case summaries, your faculty clinical mentor will review them and document the results of this review on the Case Summary Review Form. Your Faculty Clinical Mentor will contact you regarding these reports and your clinical practicum in general. When communication is completed, your performance will be noted as satisfactory and the Case Summary Review form will be filed accordingly. Please feel free to contact your Faculty Clinical Mentor if you have any questions concerning your case studies and clinical practicum. Other clock hours beyond the initial 25 are to be supervised by your CCC licensed on-site clinical supervisor. Requirements of supervision of these hours are defined by ASHA as: 50% supervision of diagnostic sessions, including screenings. 25% supervision of treatment sessions. Upon completion of each CSD 602 enrollment, the Graduate Student Trainee Rating Scale (B15 and B 16) must be completed by your supervisor. Please share the grading criteria with your supervisor and ask him/her to complete the grade computation form. Your supervisor must verify that you were supervised according to ASHA standards with their signature and ASHA membership number. This form should then be mailed by your supervisor to the Program Coordinator. Rev. May 2002 B 4

Your name, semester, site, and setting should be noted at the top. The semester notation must include the year. 4. Categories for disorders are noted in columns. If the client fits into more than one category (i.e., has both language and speech disorder), identify the disorder and allocate time spent for diagnosis and treatment of each disorder. 5. At completion of each clinical practicum, total the columns by minutes and then by hours. Send a copy, signed by your supervisor, to the Program Coordinator. Also complete and submit summary of clock hours (page B 13) and clock hour accumulations (page B 14). 6. At the end of each Clinical Practicum enrollment obtain supervisors' signatures on all forms and mail copies to the Program Coordinator. 7.
