The strength of the recommendation (strongly recommended, recommended, or no recommendation) and the quality of the evidence (1a‒5b) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field. It is strongly recommended that speech-language pathologists train and counsel parents regarding methods of initiating a home program and clearly communicate that participation in a home program will accelerate progress towards speech and language goals (Roberts & Kaiser, 2011 [1a]; Allen & Marshall, 2011 [2a]; McDuffie & Yoder, 2010 [2a]; Fey et al., 2006 [2a]; Yoder & Warren, 2002 [2a]; Gunther & Hautvast, 2010 [3a-controlled clinical trial (CCT)]; McConachie et al., 2005 [3a]; Pennington et al., 2009 [4a]; Scherer, D'Antonio, & McGahey, 2008 [4a]; Crowe, Norris, & Hoffman, 2004 [4a]; Kashinath, Woods, & Goldstein, 2006 [4b]; Reagon & Higbee, 2009 [5a]).

Steps in the Process. Evidence-Based Practice Introduction. There is an abundance of definitions of evidence-based practice (EBP).

Fortunately, most of them say essentially the same thing. The most well-known definition is that put forth by David Sackett and colleagues: "Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. " (Sackett D et al. Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM, 2nd edition. Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2000, p.1) In 2004, ASHA's Executive Board convened a coordinating committee on evidence-based practice. The goal of EBP is the integration of: (a) clinical expertise/expert opinion, (b) external scientific evidence, and (c) client/patient/caregiver values to provide high-quality services reflecting the interests, values, needs, and choices of the individuals we serve.

Identifying and Implementing Educational Practices Supported By Rigorous Evidence: A User Friendly Guide - Purpose and Executive Summary. Purpose and Executive Summary This Guide seeks to provide educational practitioners with user-friendly tools to distinguish practices supported by rigorous evidence from those that are not.

The field of K-12 education contains a vast array of educational interventions - such as reading and math curricula, schoolwide reform programs, after-school programs, and new educational technologies - that claim to be able to improve educational outcomes and, in many cases, to be supported by evidence. This evidence often consists of poorly-designed and/or advocacy-driven studies.

State and local education officials and educators must sort through a myriad of such claims to decide which interventions merit consideration for their schools and classrooms. If practitioners have the tools to identify evidence-based interventions, they may be able to spark major improvements in their schools and, collectively, in American education.

In addition, appendix B contains a checklist to use in this process. Top.
