Three mental hygiene habits to beat Covid-19 and set up a healthier New Normal
Image: REUTERS/Lee Smith ___ How many of us right now are experiencing a heady cocktail of confusion, anxiety and even some surprising moments of respite from our pre-COVID-19, always-on-the-go culture? In a new survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 45% of Americans felt that the coronavirus crisis is harming their mental health (19% felt it had a “major impact”). Our traditional media and social media feeds are filled with urgent and often conflicting imperatives to change our routines and be constantly vigilant. The online onslaught of rapidly updating media stories reporting worst-case scenarios can fuel fe...

ASHA Learning Pass Offered Free of Cost During COVID-19
Let’s face it—daily life feels more hectic than ever, as audiologists and speech-language pathologists juggle unprecedented COVID-19-related changes and challenges, professionally and personally. While it’s hard to find a spare second, tapping continuing education (CE) online is one way to pivot to new practice approaches, such as telepractice, while also meeting CE requirements (as in-person conferences and professional-development events are cancelled). To help out, ASHA has made its ASHA Learning Pass free for all members through June 30, 2020. Existing ASHA Learning Pass subscribers have had their subscriptions e...

The Art of Education Research: Reflections on the Philosophy of Science Series
I think each of us, sometime in our life, has wanted to paint a picture. –Bob Ross1 I’m a former arts teacher who ended up working in health professions education (HPE) research. I absolutely love my job, but I never could have imagined I’d end up working in this field. And what a pleasure it is to be part of this community—it’s a wonderful world, full of generous, thoughtful people. I love that HPE research allows me to combine my interest in thinking critically about education with my drive to do creative work.

5 Steps to Get Started in Telepractice
Over the last few weeks, many schools and clinics nationwide—well, really worldwide—have been shutting down in response to COVID-19. While this is an uncertain time for all of us, fortunately many audiologists and speech-language pathologists might be able to offer services for clients using telepractice. Editor’s note: Per ASHA guidelines, use of telepractice must be equivalent to the quality of services provided in person and consistent with adherence to the Code of Ethics, audiology scope of practice, speech-language pathology scope of practice, state and federal laws, and ASHA policy. Even before this pandemi...

Everyday Ethics: Dos and Don ’ts for Clinical Supervisors of Students
What if a graduate student doing their speech-language pathology clinical placement—or audiology externship—was asked by their supervisor to perform a procedure on their own. And they are unsure about their readiness to do such a procedure flying solo. The short answer? As a student, you aren’t yet obligated to abide by ASHA’s Code of Ethics. However, your ASHA-certified supervisor is so obliged. The answer to the questions below raises some ethical considerations a supervisor should consider.
