“Designed” Dialogues: The Real Politics of Evidence-Based Practice and Education Policy Research in England: Susan L.Robertson and Roger Dale

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.

Half Century

We have two goals for this article: to question the efficacy of evidence-based practice as the foundation of reading education policy and to propose practice-based evidence as a viable, more socially just alternative. In order to reach these goals, we describe the limits of reading policies of the last half century and argue for the possibilities of policies aimed at more equitable distribution of academic literacies among all social groups, recognition of subaltern groups’ literacies, and representation of the local in regional and global decision making.

Shed Light

This presentation aims to shed light on effective suicide prevention activities that often are missing in the everyday clinical practice. Too often in fact suicidal individuals seek help from mental health professionals that nevertheless fail to recognize suicide risk. For instance, on average, 45% of suicide victims had contact with primary care providers within 1 month of suicide. Likewise, the real world often presents challenges that impair proper utilization of the evidence-based practice. Also, the alarming suicide rates around the world points to lack of effective preventive understanding of suicide. This presentation will present key point of the evidence-based practice, how to implement such approach and how to overcome difficulties in the real world. It will deal with the state of the art of preventive measures of suicide, what the missing elements are and how to make the most from personal experience without risking relying on clinician's intuition in management of suicidal individuals.
