2010 MSHA SPRING CONVENTION AGENDA page 2 of 10 A4. Ethics: It s More Than Common Sense with David R. Denton, M.A., J.D., American Speech- Language-Hearing Association Part 1 of 2: Every year, ASHA s Board of Ethics and state regulatory agencies adjudicate ethics complaints against audiologists and speech-language pathologists. Depending on how egregious the conduct is, individuals face sanctions that range from a private reprimand to revocation of ASHA membership and certification, and/or state licensure, for a period of years up to life. Many clinicians found in violation assert that they didn t know that the conduct they engaged in was unethical. Others state that, even when faced with circumstances they know may pose an ethical dilemma, they didn t know how to respond in an ethically responsible manner or where to seek guidance. Therefore, practitioners need to develop sensitivity to ethics and acquire decision-making strategies when confronted with ethical quandaries. One without the other is insufficient. This session will utilize information and case scenarios that represent ethical dilemmas, and suggest practical means the busy practitioner can employ to appropriately respond to them. 1. Identify the types and trends of contemporary professional issues that give rise to ethical dilemmas. 2. Identify ethical decision-making strategies for applying ethical principles and rules to ensure compliance with professional responsibilities. 3. Describe general malpractice risk management strategies and how abiding by their ethical duties may lessen malpractice exposure. 4. Describe the scope and nature of ASHA s ethics program and the work of its board of ethics and how to gain access to ethics resources. 5. Identify those instances in which they have an obligation to report unethical/unprofessional conduct to their professional associations and/or state regulatory agencies. A5. Understanding Your Role: Current and Future Practices of Speech-Language Pathologists in the Area of Literacy with Megan Mahowald, M.A., Minneapolis Public Schools Part 1 of 2: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working with children and adolescents with varying disabilities will encounter students who are struggling with reading and writing. SLPs are equipped with the specific knowledge and skills to be experts in reading but are often conflicted because it is unknown what the SLP s role is in development, assessment, and intervention of literacy skills. SLPs need to understand the reading process and impacts of speech and language impairments on this process in order to negotiate the scope of practice as outlined by ASHA ( Knowledge and skills needed by speech-language pathologists with respect to reading and writing in children and adolescents ; ASHA 2002). This presentation will give SLPs the basics in the reading process in order to better understand the SLP s role and negotiate what is within the scope of practice. The presentation is designed to empower SLPs with the tools to provide rich intervention that will help students become more successful readers and writers as well effective communicators. 1. Understand the basics of the reading process and how that relates to speech and language skills. 2. Understand the roles and responsibilities of SLPs in order to negotiate their own role in their current position. 3. Understand how to apply the knowledge of reading process in designing speech-language interventions. 9:30AM 10:00AM Visit MSHA s exhibitors and sponsors while enjoying a refreshment break.

Long-Term Effects of Electronic Anti- Stuttering Devices with Thomas David Kehoe, M.B.A., Casa Futura Technologies In the past six years, at least eight long-term studies of electronic anti-stuttering devices have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Significant differences have been found in several areas, including effectiveness in low-stress vs. high-stress environments (e.g., reading aloud in a speech clinic vs. asking questions of strangers) and effectiveness in training carryover fluency, (i.e., over time, the user s speech improves and he or she needs the device less and less). Differing outcomes will be tied to differing investigative methods, differences in technology, and differences in therapy used in combination with the electronic devices. Participants will also be able to try some of the devices. 1. Describe from personal experience the effects of delayed auditory feedback (DAF), frequency-altered auditory feedback (FAF), and other technologies. 2. Answer clients questions about long-term effects of electronic anti-stuttering devices by referencing studies published in scientific journals. 3.
