In this episode of School of Speech, host Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, welcomes Tim DeLuca, PhD, CCC-SLP; Nerissa Hall, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-AAC; and Julia Serra, MS, CCC-SLP for a timely conversation about how research-practice partnerships can strengthen speech-language pathology and close the gap between evidence and everyday clinical decision-making. Together, they explore what research-practice partnerships are, why they matter, and how collaboration between clinicians and researchers can lead to more relevant research questions, stronger implementation of evidence-based practices, and better outcomes for students.
You will hear practical examples of existing research-practice partnership models, along with real-world insights into how these collaborations are formed, maintained, and sustained over time. The discussion highlights the mutual benefits for clinicians, researchers, and the broader speech-language pathology community, while offering clear guidance for SLPs who are interested in becoming involved in partnerships that align with their caseload priorities and service delivery needs.
This course provides a practical roadmap for engaging in meaningful collaboration that supports clinically relevant research and fosters the use of research-informed interventions in everyday practice.
