Participants will be able to: Explain the concept and advantages of the Family- and- Child-Centered Care (FCCC) approach. Describe the components of the FCCC as applied to individuals with CLP and their families. Explain the EB strategies of FCCC be applied by the SLP and its positive effects.

This research explores the personal perspectives of school-based SLPs regarding their training in, perceptions of, and experiences regarding leadership. Survey research was conducted, and school based SLPs acted as respondents. Results may inform education in leadership, both in student training and in continuing education. Leadership in the field of speech-language pathology is essential to not only advocate for better outcomes of clients and patients, but also to foster an environment for change and understanding for future generations of SLPs.

Excerpt: What? You say you don't believe in prescriptive methods for programming hearing aids? Really? Then let me ask you this: Your Monday morning patient has a relatively flat 60 dB loss of cochlear origin. Would you program his hearing aids with 60 dB gain? Of course not. How about 10 dB gain? Not good either, right? Guess what—the moment you reached these conclusions, you're already using a prescriptive fitting approach.

Aim of the study: To evaluate the influence of high frequency hearing loss (>8000 Hz) on distortion product otoacoustic emissions registered in the frequency range from 0,5 to 8 kHz. Material and methods: 280 ears with tinnitus and normal hearing (0.25–8 kHz) divided into 3 groups depending on the degree of high frequency hearing loss: group A – hearing threshold up to 20 dB for 10, 12.5, 14 and 16 kHz (68 ears); group B – hearing threshold 25–40 dB HLfor at least one of four EHfs (93 ears); group C – hearing threshold above 40 dB HL for at least one of four EHFs (119 ears). For each group mean audiogram and DP-gram were obtained and statistical analysis was used for comparison across these groups. Results: Mean DPOAE values in group C were significantly lower in comparison with group A for the frequency range 2–8 kHz, and in comparison with group B were significantly lower for the frequency range 4–8 kHz. Conclusions: High frequency hearing loss (above 8 kHz) has a relevant influence on distortion product otoacoustic emissions registered at frequencies below 8 kHz in tinnitus patients. The greater is hearing loss above 8 kHz, the lower is DPOAE value below 8 kHz.

The core values, need, and benefits of clinical education/supervision will be presented, along with recommendations of the 2016 ASHA Ad Hoc Committee on Supervision Training. Information on ASHA resources and training opportunities within clinical education/supervision will be shared with regard to the Run-Grow-Transform model of the ASHA Strategic Pathway.
