Checks and Balances

Keeping the Science in Our Profession

Kamhi (1999) suggests that clinicians may choose to use an intervention approach "because it works" rather than relying on their theory of language learning. This suggestion spawned a number of concerns, including who the scientists in our field are, whether our professional definition of language is used in our language theories and intervention approaches, and what we say the "best" intervention is. In this article, these issues are discussed as discrepancies, along with some suggestions for addressing these gaps, in order to integrate science into all of our professional endeavors.

KEY WORDS: language, intervention, theory, science
