Imagine combining evidence, experience, and real-world realities in a way that helps you make meaningful, patient-centered decisions every day. That’s what Meta-SLP is all about.

Led by the wonderful Martin B. Brodsky, PhD, ScM, CCC-SLP, F-ASHA and Debra Suiter, PhD, BCS-S, FASHA, CCC-SLP, this live, advanced-level course takes you beyond checklists and protocols. You’ll walk away with practical tools, critical thinking strategies, and a deeper understanding of how to integrate evidence and experience—even when the evidence feels incomplete or messy.

In this full-day, advanced-level course, you’ll join two of our field’s most respected experts, Dr. Martin Brodsky and Dr. Debra Suiter, as they guide you through:

• The evidence behind key tools and protocols (and what to do when the evidence is limited)
• Decision-making strategies for those messy, “no perfect answer” situations
• Case-based discussions that reflect the challenges you face every day

This isn’t about memorizing more data—it’s about learning to synthesize what’s in front of you and advocate for what’s best for your patients.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify validated tools, protocols, and guidelines for medical SLP care
• Apply critical thinking when research is limited or incomplete
• Prioritize patient needs through interdisciplinary collaboration
• Navigate complex cases involving access, cost, and caregiver input
