Firmly rooted in research, The Supervisory Process in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is an update of Jean L. Anderson's seminal work by the same name and proves to be a practical guide for supervision at all stages of development. This book is a practical and immediately applicable resource for supervisors and supervisees. The contemporary format of this new book includes a new chapter on the supervision of speech-language pathology assistants, attention to new ASHA training standards (effective in 2005), and case studies and practical tools that make it useful for supervisors in any setting and level of practice. Professional is the field of speech-language pathology and audiology as well as professionals in allied health and education

As with the actual practices of speech-language pathologists and audiologists, clinical education and supervision practices work best when they are grounded not only in concept and theory but also in research. Designed to act as a complete guide to both the theory and the research, The Clinical Education and Supervisory Process in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology provides the most up-to-date information on these crucial topics. Following in the footsteps of their mentor, Jean Anderson, Drs. Elizabeth McCrea and Judith Brasseur have taken on the task of assembling important current research and best practices in clinical education and supervision into one comprehensive resource. With their prestigious team of contributing authors, this text represents the culmination of decades of study and real-world best practices. The Clinical Education and Supervisory Process in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology covers clinical education and supervision across five unique constituent groups: clinical educators of graduate students, preceptors of audiology externs, mentors of clinical fellows, supervisors of support personnel, and supervisors of professionals transitioning between work settings. It also includes the latest information on certification and accreditation requirements for preparation in supervision. Topics include Foundations: Anderson’s Continuum of Supervision Components of the Process Expectations for Supervision Practical Research in Supervision Literature from other Disciplines Obtaining Feedback About the Supervisory Process The Ethics of Clinical Education and Supervision Supervisor Self-Study and Accountability Interprofessional Education and Practice in Clinical Education and Supervision Chapter appendices add numerous ancillary materials, allowing readers to easily adopt the most successful processes and strategies the research has revealed. Sample scripts of supervisory conferences, self-assessment tools, action plan tools, and analysis systems can all be found inside. The Clinical Education and Supervisory Process in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is intended as a primary resource for anyone in those professions in any setting who is engaged in the process of clinical education and supervision. With this text as their guide, clinical educators and supervisors will be able to ground their practices in the vast compiled research and study contained within.

Supervision is the only current book on supervision in speech-language pathology and audiology. The text provides fun and practical strategies for implementing supervision. Multidisciplinary literature, which forms the basis for effective practice, is included throughout the text. Although the examples in the text relate to speech, language pathology, and audiology, the ideas presented are applicable to disciplines such as education, psychology, social work, and business. The material is written to make it informative, enjoyable, and readily useable in the classroom and in clinical settings. Numerous examples and vignettes are included to foster reader interest. The Thirteen Tasks of Supervision and the Anderson Continuum of Supervision are the synthesizing core of this book which is divided into five sections. The first section addresses organizational issues that provide the context for supervision. The second section relates to practical tools and strategies for enhancing supervision such as data collection, goal setting, conferencing and feedback. The third section addresses approaches to supervising practitioners at all levels of experience: clinical training, the working professional and speech-language pathology assistants. The fourth section focuses on training individuals to participate more effectively in supervision. This includes preparing supervisees for the process and fostering lifelong supervisor professional growth. The final section presents training vehicles for use with present and future supervisors: roleplay, simulation, and the teaching clinic.

Based soundly in theory and research, this text is designed to foster quality supervision in a variety of settings. The author examines organizational behaviour in successful corporations and applies this information to clinical supervision to increase productivity, growth and job satisfaction.
