Ethical Practice Through Evidence-based and Culturally-responsive Disability Evaluations- ASHA 0.3 CEU Self- Study Course

Developed by Dr. Catherine Crowley, this self-study course was developed after identifying gaps between current clinical approaches to disability evaluations and evidence-based practice as well as the federal law. This course focuses on how to ensure ethical practices in speech-language evaluations. It first reviews current research on culturally and linguistically responsive evaluations using ASHA’s Code of Ethics as a lens. Then SLP Change Makers clinicians, supervisors, academics, and administrators discuss what they did in their school districts to provide ethical and culturally responsive evaluation. This course is offered for 0.3 ASHA CEUs. For those who do not pay for the ASHA CE Registry, this course is intended to meet three hours of professional development hours.

 This course was developed to meet the ASHA certification maintenance requirements of one hour of continuing education on ethics and two hours of culturally responsive practice.
