Walt, Thanks for your reply. I am certainly aware that Prolonged (Smooth Speech ) does not have universal appeal. My comment was directed to better informing SLP students. Why does the SLP leadership allow these papers to go unchallenged? Do you agree that by not doing so the clinical expertise of future SLPs is compromised? I would be very interested to see your references (maybe other SLP students who thought the paper I referred to was so great might want to see them too.) Also I have previously offered solutions to issues of differential diagnosis so inexperienced SLPs (the only game in town for many pws) might better direct a multidiciplinarian approach. What is the process by which this could be suggested for incorporation into "best practice"? Is there a chain of command? To what extent are standards enforceable?
