Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders: Progress not Perfection

Ray D. Kent
University of Wisconsin–Madison

Contact author: Ray D. Kent, Waisman Center, Room 435, 1500 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI 53705-2280. E-mail: Kent{at}waisman.wisc.edu

PURPOSE: This commentary is written in response to a companion paper by Nan Bernstein Ratner (Evidence-Based Practice: An Examination of its Ramifications for the Practice of Speech-Language Pathology).

METHOD: The comments reflect my experience as Vice President for Research and Technology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). One of the responsibilities of the Vice President is to monitor the work of the Advisory Committee on Evidence-Based Practice.

CONCLUSION: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a challenging but attainable goal for audiology and speech-language pathology. Our professions have made rapid progress in developing the foundations for EBP. To be sure, a great deal of work remains to be done, but we have learned from the experiences of other professions and have built our own systems to support EBP.

KEY WORDS: evidence-based practice, systematic reviews, publications
