CHAPTER 1: GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences emphasizes the study of human communication sciences and disorders. All aspects of communication – including speech, language, and hearing – as well as essential functions of swallowing and balance are explored through all stages of the lifespan. The Department provides excellence in education across undergraduate, graduate professional (MS-SLP and AuD), and research programs (PhD). Evidence-based practice and research are central emphases of all the department’s programs. As future clinicians and developing scientists, students study all aspects of normal and pathological communication, as well as normal and disordered swallowing, and balance. The Department embraces a state, national, and international character in its student enrollment, its reputation, and placement of its graduates. The mission of the department fits well with the missions of both the University and the College of Health and Human Sciences. (https://www.purdue.edu/hhs/slhs/about/index.html) MASTERS OF SCIENCE IN SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY (MS-SLP) PROGRAM The M.S. program in Speech-Language Pathology at Purdue is designed so that graduates can meet all academic, clinical certification, licensure, and credentialing requirements of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), the Indiana Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board (ISLPAB), and the Indiana Department of Education Communication Disorders License. Graduates typically go on to pursue careers as clinical speech-language pathologists in schools, hospitals or private practice. In some instances, students may choose to not participate in the clinical program and receive the non-clinical degree. The master’s education program in speech-language pathology at Purdue University is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2200 Research Boulevard #310, Rockville, Maryland 20850, 800-498-2071 or 301-296-5700. CLINICAL EDUCATION OVERVIEW Clinical education is as an integral and parallel part of the program. Clinical practicum allows students to experience, first hand, the process in providing clinical services in the field of speech-language pathology under supervision and acquire the different skill sets needed to become a licensed, certified speech-language pathologist. Clinical practicum experiences take place on the Purdue University campus as well as in numerous off-campus clinical sites. Clinical practicum allow students to obtain experiences in a variety of clinical sites with clients with diverse disorders, differing severity levels, and backgrounds. Students will increase their knowledge of the discipline into which they have entered and learn to function as a team member within the field. At Purdue University, our goal is to provide the high quality clinical experiences and ensure students are able to meet Knowledge and Skills Acquisition (KASA) standards required by the Council on Academic

7

Accrediation (CAA) and Council for Clinical Certification (CFCC). See www.asha.org for specific program and certification requirements with regard to each of the Big 9 areas. PROFESSIONAL PROTOCOL FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Graduate clinicians and clinical supervisors in the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences Clinics abide by the M.D. Steer Ethical Practices, ASHA Code of Ethics, ISHA Code of Ethics, according to ASHA’s scope of practice in speech-language pathology. For more information regarding the Scope of Practice and ASHA and ISHA code of ethics see Appendix A. SLHS M.D. STEER CLINICS The department supports two full-service teaching clinics that are open to the public. The M.D. Steer Clinics are located in Lyles-Porter Hall on the Purdue University campus.

SPEECHPATHOLOGY.COM SpeechPathology.com is an online continuing education resource center that provides continuing education and resources for practicing professionals in speech-language pathology. As students enrolled in the graduate program, students are granted educational access to this sites content. Although continuing education hours are not granted through the education access site, valuable learning opportunities and educational material can be accessed on this site.

DIAGNOSTIC/TREATMENT RESOURCE ROOM Diagnostic and treatment resources are also stored in Room 2138 for student use. Materials are organized by area and should be maintained as such. Proper protocol should be used when checking out materials. The DTR room should remain locked at all times for

15

security purposes. Each graduate student is issued a key to this room for access. Procedures outlined below must be followed. CLIENT FILES Client files are accessed through the Point and Click Electronic Health Solutions Record System (PnC). Records for clients evaluated or treated prior to 2016 are located in a file cabinet in 1042. Physical client files may be signed out by filing out a file placeholder out card located on top of the cabinet in Room 1042 during regular business hours. Files may be taken only to the graduate offices, to the supervisors' offices or to the graduate DTR room and returned the same day. Client folders may be taken to 2138 for use by graduate students between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. but should never leave the building. POINT AND CLICK ELECTRONIC SOLUTIONS HEALTH RECORD SYSTEM (PNC) Point and Click is the web-based electronic healthcare system that is used to store clinic records. Students receive training on this system and are issued a username and temporary password to gain access during orientation. Once you have logged in, you will then create your own password. Be certain you know what it is. We cannot retrieve it for you. Point and Click training videos are located on SharePoint in the Resources folder. CLINIC MATERIALS

The department provides a wide variety of therapy materials for use in the Clinic. These include stimulus materials, formal tests and speech and language therapy programs. This presents the students with a variety of materials to enhance the learning process during the clinical practicum. Purchasing and maintaining materials is an expensive task. To ensure that materials are not misplaced and that they are maintained in the best possible condition, specific borrowing procedures have been developed. These procedures are outlined in the following paragraphs. Use of materials in the resource room is a privilege that may be revoked if procedures are not followed. CHECK-OUT AND RETURNS: DIAGNOSTIC TESTS There are many diagnostic tests available for your use in clinical practicum. Diagnostic tests and forms are kept in LYLE 2138. The tests are color coded by areas (i.e., adult language, cognition, speech sound disorders, fluency, swallowing and oral motor, social aspects, literacy and in alphabetical order. A comprehensive list of available tests is on SharePoint. The tests are organized in the spreadsheet by the nine areas and are cross-referenced for location on the shelf for your convenience. Please follow the guidelines when checking out diagnostic tests.

Sign out all diagnostic tests on the specified checkout laptop located in 2138.

16

(Directions for checking out tests are posted on the clipboard near the laptop.) Clinicians should reserve needed tests materials before the diagnostic session. Tests may be checked out for two hours at a time. Tests may not leave Lyles-Porter Hall between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. You may check out

a diagnostic test after 5:00 p.m. for overnight use, but it must be returned by 7:30 a.m. the following day. You may need to return the test and check it out later to complete scoring after administering the test.

When checking out diagnostic tests, take the entire bin (not just the manual or test plates inside the folder) and return it to the proper place on the metal shelves.

Tests and therapy materials are not to be use in externships unless approval is provided by a SLHS faculty or staff person.

Diagnostic test forms are very expensive. To prevent waste of forms, clinicians should use worksheets, photocopies and/or other recording sheets for initial data collection. This data can then be transferred to the test protocol form. Only use one form per client. IPAD USAGE iPads are stored in LYLE 2138 in the lock and charge box on top of the file cabinets. Sign-out is imperative as well as a quick return. iPads can be checked out and returned following the same procedure as diagnostic tests. Charge iPads upon return. IPADS ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL USE and should not be taken home. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE CHARGERS FROM THE ROOM. CHECK-OUT AND RETURNS: MATERIALS Therapy materials may be checked out of the resource room for daytime or overnight use. You must check out the materials by completing the check-out sheets in the checkout binder kept in the second-floor resource room. Please complete the checkout sheets with all requested information. Legibly write your name, not the name of the research project or program. Clinic materials are stored in room 2161. All materials must be checked out and returned to their original location at the end of each session. Return materials to the resource room as soon as you are finished. If materials are checked out for overnight use, they must be returned to the resource room by 7:30 am the following day. Specific guidelines for returning materials are posted in each resource room in order to keep the resource rooms neat. Please return all materials to the location where you found them. RESOURCE ROOM EMPLOYEES AND BULLETIN BOARD The department employs clinical administrative assistants to maintain materials in the resource room and to ensure the upkeep of room. A Clinical Faculty member has over-all responsibility for the operation of the Resource Rooms. Please let a resource room employee know of damaged or missing items from the resource room by emailing the clinic

17

assistant. Please help to keep the resource room neat. The Resource Room door must stay locked at all times. Use your key to access the room. NOTE: Due to the high demand for certain materials, removing items from the Resource Room for individuals other than clients (i.e., brothers and sisters) should be discouraged. Parents should be encouraged to bring favorite toys/books from home for any accompanying children or use those toys in the waiting room. Under no circumstances should parents or accompanying children be allowed to help themselves in the Resource Room. If it becomes necessary to check-out some materials for a client's siblings, then the clinician is responsible for ensuring their safe return. Resource Room materials should not be taken down to the Waiting Room at any time.

THERAPY ROOMS

THERAPY ROOM RESERVATIONS Room reservations for the semester need to be scheduled with the receptionist in LYLE 1042 by emailing the receptionists at slhsadmin@purdue.edu. Do not use a vacant therapy room for any reason without first checking with the receptionist who schedules all of the therapy rooms. As a courtesy, there is a sheet with room reservations that is located on the outside of the door of each room. It is helpful to write your name in the time block you have reserved the room. For special one-time occasions, reserve the room with the receptionist, who will note the date, time and room for the specific appointment. In order to maintain current schedules for all therapy rooms, please coordinate room changes with the receptionist and the supervisor you are working with if an assignment changes during the semester. THERAPY ROOMS AND FURNITURE Therapy rooms are located on the second floor of Lyles-Porter Hall. Four of the rooms are observable via two-way mirror. Video recording and observation equipment is located in all rooms. Each therapy room contains furniture appropriate for each room. Furniture should remain in that room but if removal is necessary, return it to the proper location immediately after the therapy session. In most cases it is preferable to change rooms rather than to move furniture. Keep supervisors aware of any room changes. Students are expected to keep therapy rooms as neat as possible. Do not use tape on the walls, spill liquid on the carpets, etc. After each therapy session, follow proper protocol for cleaning. Please see the SLHS Clinic Safety Procedures for proper cleaning instructions. As needed, clean up the floor with the Dust-buster or broom (available in the Resource Room), and wipe off the mirrors with paper towels and plain water. If there is a room that needs further attention, leave a note on the door for housekeeping to clean the room that

18

evening. There is a bio-hazardous kit in each therapy room. Each kit is equipped with a bottle of Bioesque solution, rubber gloves, paper towels, etc. Please let the Clinical Administrative Assistant know when these need to be replenished. VIDEO EQUIPMENT SLHS uses Video, Audio, Learning Tool (VALT) to support student learning and engagement in clinical practicum. This tool allows students, families, and clinical faculty to observe and record sessions. Students and faculty can annotate session for later review. Viewers will receive passwords to access the system. All students are expected to follow HIPAA guidelines and protect patient confidentiality. If there are problems with the equipment, please request help from a supervisor or the shop staff. Headphones are available in the observation room for private listening by parents or other observers. Please turn the monitors off when finished with them. RECORDING SESSIONS Students are encouraged to record sessions to support learning. In select rooms, recordings can be initiated using the start/stop button. These rooms are as follows: 1018J, 1018L, 1018M, 2113, 2115, 2123, 2129, 2130, 2134, 2135, and 2151. The button must be set to “green” to initiate recording. In all other rooms, recordings should be initiated using the VALT software. OBSERVATION (LIVE) AND RECORDED VIEWING ROOMS Observation rooms are limited in number and need to be used to everyone's best advantage. All interested clinicians and the clients' parents/families are encouraged to observe. Graduate students should not use the observation room but instead leave it available for caregivers. Caregivers should be reminded of the following rules when observing: 1) Be quiet. If communication is necessary, step away from the window, whisper, and keep it brief; 2) Do not leave hallway doors open, as light from the hallways can be seen in the therapy rooms through the one-way mirror; 3) Do not lean too closely to the mirror, as shadows can be seen in the therapy rooms; and 4) Use the headphones available at each observation window if others need to observe a different room from that location. Four rooms are directly observable: 2155, 2136, 2135, and 2111. Rooms 2155 and 2136 are observable from 2138, and 2135 and 2111 are observable from 2137; however, we encourage caregivers to utilize the VALT observation room. All other therapy rooms in Lyles-Porter Hall are observable through the web-based VALT system. Students who wish to observe sessions should do so using the observation system from a different location.

CLINIC PROCEDURES SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT Clients or families interested in services at the M.D. Steer Clinic may call to inquire about services. The receptionists will input the information into the PnC waitlist and notify the supervisor who handles cases of the type requested. Individuals who wish receive services will be contacted by the appropriate speech-language pathologist and scheduled for a diagnostic evaluation or therapy. NEW CLIENTS New clients wishing to enroll in speech and language services must complete required clinic forms. Supervisors or clinic receptionists may send new clients the required documentation. Required forms can be found on SharePoint in the Required Forms folder on the Forms page and are listed below.

Case History Form Address and Emergency Contact Information Client Patient Publicity Consent Consent to Electronic Communication Informed Consent and Release Patient Disclosure Financial Responsibility Form Authorization Form Notice of Privacy Practices

Additional forms found on the forms page are available for use but not required. Those forms are to be used when needed. Forms should be updated any time there is a break in services. CLINIC INFORMATION LETTER Each client should be given a copy of the SLHS Clinic Information Letter at the beginning of each semester. This letter provides information about about scheduled therapy appointments and summarizes the attendance policy. The clinician and/or clinical supervisor fills this form out to either mail to the client prior to the first visit or to give to the client on the first visit if it is a returning client. Clients should also be offered a copy of the Client Bill of Rights (see Appendix B). CLIENT SCHEDULING POLICY It is the policy of the Purdue Speech-Language Clinic to schedule clients for services based on their waiting list order. This order is determined by the date of the client's request for services. Exemptions are made to this policy. Exemptions may take into consideration the nature and severity of certain communication disorders, research/grant needs and the clinical

20

requirements of students as reflected by the accreditation policies of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES CONSULTATIONS Individuals who have concerns regarding theirs or a family member’s communication and/or swallowing abilities may arrange for a consultation with a licensed, certified speech-language pathologist. A consultation may last no more than 15 or 20 minutes. It can be done via phone or in person. Individuals may receive recommendations for screening or further testing or may be provided with a list of community resources. SPEECH/LANGUAGE SCREENING A screening procedure usually lasts no more than 15 or 20 minutes. It consists of brief observations of the person's speech, language, and hearing functions. Screening is to determine if additional evaluation is warranted to diagnose a communication disorder. Screening services are billed and should be paid for at the time services are rendered.

DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION This procedure consists of in-depth assessment of all aspects of the client's communication difficulties. It involves gathering detailed information about the individual, including a case history using a questionnaire and interviews. A battery of tests is usually administered to the client for determining the nature, consistency and severity of the communication impairment and to identify the basis of the problem. The purpose of a diagnostic evaluation is also to ascertain the client's candidacy for therapy. In the Speech-Language Clinic, a diagnostic evaluation may last one to two hours. The student writes an extensive report following the diagnostic session. For a list of frequently asked questions about diagnostic evaluations please see Appendix B. Diagnostic services are billed and should be paid for at the time services are rendered. THERAPY SERVICES Communication disorders generally necessitate prolonged treatment. The therapy program consists of individual or group sessions between the client and the clinician, for the recommended time per week, for a full semester or more. Counseling of the client's parents, caregiver, or significant others is also an integral part of the program. Therapy services are billed and should be paid for at the time services are rendered. AUDIOLOGICAL SERVICES

21

Impedance testing or complete audiological testing may be arranged through the M.D. Steer Audiology Clinic. Appointments are made with the receptionist in Room 1042. Be sure to discuss all fees with clients’ families prior to scheduling appointments. Audiological services are billed and should be paid for at the time services are rendered. CLIENT WAITING ROOM The client waiting room is located in Room 1042. Clinicians should arrange to meet their clients in the waiting room prior to each therapy session, unless special arrangements are made in advance. Parent conferencing should not take place in 1042 or the hallway. Important therapy-related information should be discussed only in the privacy of a therapy room. Clients are asked to check in at the receptionist’s desk and then wait in the clinic waiting area. Clients are also asked to pay for services at the receptionist’s counter. Clinicians should refer to the SLHS Clinic Safety Protocol for additional waiting room procedures due to COVID-19. CANCELLATION OF APPOINTMENTS BY CLIENTS When a client cancels a session, this information is forwarded to the Clinical Faculty by phone message by the Clinical Reception staff. Graduate clinicians are notified as soon as possible.

FEE CHARGES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION SPEECH-LANGUAGE CLINIC FEES All rates for services in the M.D. Steer Speech Language Clinic, whether group or individual, and for the Preschool Language Program (PLP) are listed on the fee schedule in PNC. A full explanation of services in the clinic is provided in the Description of Services section of this handbook. In the event that a client is not financially able to fully pay for therapy, scholarships may be an option if funds are available at that time. Additionally, Purdue University students, employees, and retirees receive a discount on diagnostics and/or therapy services. In either of these situations, the client fills out the Application for Community Assistance Discount.

BILLING PROCEDURES Clients must be billed for services through the PnC system. The bill is created when the client’s encounter note has been discharged by the Clinical Faculty assigned to the case.

All clients who receive flat rate services (PLP) will routinely be billed the entire amount for the semester on the first encounter

Clients who pay a per-session rate receive a bill to pay at the end of each session if the encounter note has been discharged

22

Clients who choose to have their claims submitted through their insurance should speak with our front office staff

Payment plans can be arranged upon request by the client Clients should not be enrolled for services if they have a balance from a previous

semester CLIENT PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS Payments can be made using cash, check or credit card. Payments can be given to the Clinic’s Appointment Secretary in the SLHS main office, LYLE 1042. The client will receive a printed receipt for the payment. Payments should be received at the time of services. Payments not received at the time of services can be paid using one of the following methods:

Contact Purdue University Accounts Receivable at 765.494.9459 to make a credit card payment by phone

Pay online using Biller Direct On-Line Payment System at https://www.purdue.edu/billerdirectpayments

Mail checks or certified funds to: Purdue University 24025 Network Place Chicago, IL 60673-1240

Charges must be paid in full in order in order for services to be continued the following semester. Only the Purdue University Receivables and Collections Office can assist clients who have an outstanding account balance or $500 or greater. Clients should contact this office at URCO@purdue.edu or 765.494.5350 to pay their balance or make payment arrangements. DISCOUNT PROCEDURES When financial hardship limits access to therapy services, the client should request an application for Community Assistance. (See procedures below.) The form is submitted to the Director of the Speech-Language Clinic for review and processing. Purdue University full-time employees, retirees, and Purdue University students are eligible for discounted services. COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES

The Federal Poverty Guideline Schedule is a sliding scale used to determine a client's contribution to their clinic charges. The remainder is to come from Community Assistance Fund (formerly The Indigent Endowment Fund) or be forgiven by the SLHS Clinic.

An updated Federal Poverty Guideline Schedule is given to the Director of Clinical Operations at the start of each academic year by the SLHS business office.

23

Community Assistance Forms are given to clients or their parents or legal guardians by their clinical supervisors upon request.

The Community Assistance Form is filled out and signed by the client or his/her parent or legal guardian and then given to the client’s clinical supervisor. Clients/parents/guardians must also submit a copy of the front page of their most recent tax 1040, 1040-Easy form or copies of other types of household income which show gross family income and number of dependents. These forms will be filed in the client medical file in a secure location.

The clinical supervisor gives the Community Assistance Form to the Clinical Operations Manager. If she/he is unavailable, the form is given to the Director of Clinical Education in Speech-Language Pathology.

The Clinical Operations Manager reviews the form and approves/does not approve the request based on current federal poverty guidelines.

The Community Assistance Form is returned to the clinical supervisor who gives the top, white copy to the Clinic Appointment Secretary/Clerk to be scanned into the PnC system under Registration/Eligibility.

The Clinical Operations Manager uses the Federal Poverty Guideline Schedule to determine a client’s contribution to his/her clinic charges.

Continuing clients must submit a new Community Assistance Form and copy of last tax form every 12 months.

REFUND, RETURN AND CANCELLATION POLICY Fees paid for professional services provided in the M.D. Steer Speech-Language Clinic are non-refundable.

CHAPTER 3: THE CLINICAL PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE-54900, 64800, and 64900 GENERAL INFORMATION

The primary purpose of the clinical practicum experience is to provide clinical training opportunities that allow students to demonstrate and enhance their knowledge and skills in communication and swallowing disorders. For this reason, continuous enrolled in clinical practicum during the duration of the graduate program is required. Students engage in seminars and hands-on, interprofessional, experiential learning and become competent in the assessment and treatment of of communication and swallowing disorders. During the first three semesters of the graduate program, all clinicians will be required to obtain clinical hours under the direct supervision of the Purdue clinical faculty to ensure an appropriate level of clinical competence prior to being awarded off-campus clinical assignments. During the second fall and spring, students may apply for part-time clinical placements supervised by community SLPs. During the last two semesters, students will participate in full time externships. Although the faculty has a responsibility to assist the students in obtaining adequate experience to be eligible for ASHA certification and state licensure, students are responsible for keeping track of their clinical needs and informing the Director of Clinical Education of such needs. Students are expected to continuously self-reflect on their experiences and skills acquired to ensure they are making adequate progress with regard to their clinical competencies. When making clinical assignments, clinical faculty work collaboratively in their efforts to accommodate students' particular interests and career aspirations, and ensure students meet program requirements.

Although ASHA no longer requires the speech-language pathology graduate students to obtain a specific number of clinical clock hours in certain categories, the accreditation and certification standards require “broad clinical experiences including across the life span, diverse backgrounds, and many types of disorders and differences.” Under the standards, all students must show evidence of skill mastery in the nine disorder areas which are as follows: Cognition, Communication Modalities (AAC), Fluency, Hearing, Language (receptive, expressive, written), Speech Sound Disorders, Social Aspects, Swallowing/Feeding, Voice/Resonance. The goal is for each student in the program to earn a minimum of 5 hours in each area and show at least 50 practicum hours earned in three different types of clinical settings. Those settings include Community Clinic, Home Health, Hospital-Inpatient/Outpatient, Hospital-Rehabilitation Center, School, Skilled Nursing Facility, Private Practice, or University Clinic. CLINICAL PRACTICUM SEMINAR Student clinicians are assigned to a seminar class that meets weekly during the fall and spring semesters. The class is divided into two sections with first-year graduate students in one, and second-year graduate students in the other. During the spring semester, the

27

second-year students attend the first 6-8 weeks prior to leaving campus for their first externship placement. Class attendance and full participation is required. Relevant topics are identified based on the needs of the cohort. The syllabi for the current semester can be found on SharePoint and BrightSpace. SLHS WEEKLY SEMINAR As a part of clinical practicum, all graduate students enrolled in 54900 are required to attend SLHS Weekly Seminars when possible and log their continuing education participation. SLHS Weekly Seminar is held on Mondays from 12:30-1:30 in room 1150 or may be held virtually. Students should log their attendance and upload their documentation to Calipso. CLINICAL PRACTICUM Students in the MS-SLP program are assigned direct clinical experiences during the first semester of the graduate program. Clinical assignments are deferred for students needing to complete pre-requisite. The amount of direct client contact assigned varies based on a rotation schedule. Students are typically assigned to two clinical faculty each semester and rotate through the clinical faculty teams throughout the graduate program. The rotation allows students to receive clinical experience in the each area offered by Purdue clinical faculty. A preset schedule for the two-year program is uploaded to SharePoint prior to the first fall semester. The preset schedule is the minimum clinical requirement for each semester. Additional clinical assignments with Purdue clinical faculty may become available and can be requested by interested students by completing the Application for Additional Clinical Assignment (Appendix C ). This application can be found on SharePoint on the Forms page in the Student Forms folder. If a student has circumstances that necessitate a change from the typical clinic load requirements, written approval from the Director of Clinical Education in Speech-Language Pathology and from their graduate committee is required. Requests for changes in clinic loads are approved for one semester only and may be for reduced clinic loads or no clinic assignment. Students should discuss the modification and its implications for the plan of study with their advisors and the Director of Clinical Education in Speech-Language Pathology before making any request. The basic clinical timeline is below.

OBSERVATION PREREQUISITES Prior to participating in hands-on clinical training, new graduate students must present documentation of 25 hours of guided observation of therapy and/or assessments. Documentation must include the signature of the undergraduate program clinic/program director and ASHA number. If entering graduate students have not completed guided observation hours, they will be afforded the opportunity to do so in the M.D. Steer Clinic. The master schedule with clinical assignments are posted in SharePoint during the first few days of the semester. Clinicians needing observation hours should check the master schedule and make arrangements with clinical faculty to obtain observation hours. CLINICAL REQUIREMENTS Requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence by ASHA include the completion of a minimum of 400 clock hours of supervised clinical experience with individuals who present a variety of communication disorders. This includes the following breakdown:

1. A minimum of 25 observation hours prior to beginning the graduate program or during the graduate clinical experience. These required observation hours may be completed through enrollment in SLHS 44900.

2. Up to 50 hours of required clinical experience may be accrued in an undergraduate accredited program and counted towards the total hour requirement.

3. A minimum of 325 hours of clinical experience must be accrued at the graduate level.

4. At least 375 clock hours must be earned through direct client/patient contact. 5. If the student’s final clinical grade falls below B, or if the student withdraws from

any portion of their clinical practicum (SLHS 54900/64900), clinic hours accumulated for that semester will not be counted towards the 325 graduate clinic hours or the 400 hours required for ASHA certification.

COUNTING CLINICAL HOURS The SLHS clinical faculty work to provide rigorous and exceptional clinical training. Time spent

in the clinical education setting do not always equate to clinical clock hours; however, any time

spent in clinical education training facilitates students’ ability to meets clinical competencies.

When counting clinical clock hours, only time spent by the graduate clinician providing direct

therapy services or evaluations can be recorded. Hours spent in supervisory conferences or peer

meetings in which evaluation, treatment, and/or recommendations are discussed or formulated

may not be counted towards clinical clock hours. That also includes observations, report writing,

and planning. Time spent with the client or caretaker engaging in information-giving,

29

counseling, or training for a home program may be counted as direct contact time if the activities

are directly related to an evaluation and/or treatment.

Although multiple students may be assigned to one client, only the student providing the direct

services may be credited with the clock hours. Students working on a team should count their

time directly involved with the client/patient. Under circumstances in which one student is

working with the client and one student is working with the family, both students may count the

time. A provision provided as of COVID-19 allows up to two students to count all time spent in

direct contact with fact-to face clients and for multiple students to count all time earned via

telepractice regardless of the number of clients. Students who are not sure how much time to log

should consult their clinical supervisor.

CLINICAL PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

The following list includes requirements for enrollment in the SLHS clinical practicum:

Physical examination: A physical examination by a licensed physician prior to beginning 54900. You may bring a copy of the physical required for admissions to the Purdue University Graduate School.

TB test, Chest x-ray or Quantiferon Gold Test: You will receive a form to complete regarding this test during the Risk Management Training during orientation. You can complete the testing either on campus (PUSH) or at a physician’s office. You may decline the TB testing; however, some clinical training sites require TB testing and, if you decline, you may not be allowed to go to that training site. There is a place on the Medical History Form you complete for enrollment for TB Test information. The form states that a TB Test is ONLY required for international students, but if you have it done before you come to campus, please have your PCP add this to your Medical History Form.

Adult Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis: Confirmation of the adult tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis immunization will be required for some clinical sites. Please have you PCP note this on your medical form. If you are not able to show proof if this immunization, you may not be allowed at your clinic training site.

Hepatitis B Vaccination: You may decline the vaccination, but individual clinical training sites may require the vaccine or documentation that you are declining. The vaccinations are a series of 3 inoculations and can be completed on campus (PUSH) or through your physician.

5 Panel Drug Screen: This will be required for your externship placements. You will be notified when this needs to be completed and can do so at the Indiana University Health-Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, IN.

Proof of Vaccination and/or Disease for Measles, Mumps and Chicken Pox (Varicella), and Vaccination for Rubella: Confirmation of the measles, mumps and rubella are included on the Purdue Medical History form. Please have your PCP add the chicken pox information if the information is available. If you do not know whether you’ve had chicken pox or the vaccine, you will be required to have a titer to determine this information if you are assigned to one of the clinical rotations that require it.

30

Flu Vaccination: Flu vaccinations are required at various health care assignments. The vaccine is available in the fall only, so students should plan ahead for this. The cost of the vaccination is the responsibility of the student.

CPR-American Heart Association’s Basic Life Skills for Healthcare Providers: The American Heart Association’s Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers course is required for all SLP and AuD graduate students.

Criminal Background Check: Prior to the commencement of your first semester, you will receive an email with further instructions from the graduate program secretary. There is a fee that you must pay when submitting a request for a criminal background check.

Liability Insurance: Proof of liability insurance needs to be obtained before your practicum can begin (54900). The policy is good for one year, from August 1 to July 31. The fee is included in the SLHS 54900 Clinic Lab Fee.

DRESS AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE GUIDELINES

It is important that clinicians dress in a way that is conducive to providing diagnostic or therapy services that do not distract the client from the services provided. Any student who is not dressed appropriately will not be allowed to participate in clinic. It may be beneficial to keep a change of clothing, sweater etc. in your locker to use if needed. If inappropriate attire occurs frequently, a Professional Protocol Notice (Appendix C) will be written and and noted on the CSCF. Students are allowed to wear black scrubs in the clinic. These guidelines should be viewed as the minimum requirement for all off-campus clinical placements and externships. Individual facilities may have additional or more stringent guidelines. Name Badge:

Clinicians must wear their name badge when providing services to clients/patients.

All clothing:

All clothing should be clean, neat, in good condition, and fit professionally.

Pants: Denim jeans, Capri length pants or shorts are allowed only with

permission from your supervisor. Any pants/skirt/shirt combination must cover the midriff when the

arms are raised and also cover the back when bending over. No bib overalls, sweatpants, or spandex.

Skirts/Dresses: Skirts must be of a reasonable length and fit for your setting. No spaghetti-strap dresses.

31

Shirts/Blouses: No unauthorized T-shirts or tank tops. Low-cut tops that show cleavage or shirts that are see- through are

not allowed. Shoes:

Shoes should look professional. Flip-flops are not allowed. Tennis shoes are allowable only with supervisor’s consent.

Nails: Length must be moderate and pose no danger to others.

Body Art/jewelry: Clinicians are permitted to wear jewelry or to display tattoos during

clinic within the following guidelines. Factors that supervisors will consider to determine whether jewelry or tattoos may pose a conflict include:

Personal safety of self or others Productivity or performance expectations Offensiveness to colleagues or clients based on racial, sexual,

religious, ethnic or other characteristics or attributes of a sensitive or legally protected nature.

Fragrances:

Clients, other students, faculty or staff may have an allergic reaction to fragrances. No fragrances may be used at Lafayette ENT, IU Health Arnett, extended care facilities or in the Purdue Speech, Language and Hearing Clinics. We are a fragrance-free clinic.

If it is determined that personal appearance may present a conflict, the clinician will be assisted to identify appropriate options, such as removal of excess or potentially harmful jewelry, covering of offensive tattoos or other reasonable means to resolve the conflict.

SCHEDULING PROCEDURES FOR CLINICAL ASSIGNMENTS Near the end of each semester, each student is asked to fill out a schedule indicating availability to participate in clinical activities during the upcoming semester. This schedule should include information pertaining to courses (numbers and times), work assignments, and family commitments (Appendix C). Each student in the SLP clinical training program must also update the “Clinic Record and Practicum Plan,” which includes caseload requests for the new semester (Appendix C) every semester. Deadlines for submitting updates typically occur during the second half of each semester. Remember that all forms must be kept up to date and all changes are to be given to the schedule coordinator as soon as they occur. Students are responsible for notifying the DCE and their assigned clinical educator of scheduling conflicts that arise after the schedule had been developed. Students should keep in mind that their graduate education take precedent over other commitments, with the consent of their assigned supervisor.

32

Clinical training programs are obligated to provide a breadth of clinical experiences in order to train well-rounded clinicians and to satisfy ASHA requirements. Accordingly, every semester, the supervisory staff carefully examines each student's previous clinical practicums to ensure that each clinician has been exposed to and/or has demonstrated mastery of:

o Working with pediatric and adult clients o Providing individual and group intervention o Utilizing indirect and direct therapy intervention techniques o Whenever possible, clinical faculty also attempt to supply:

Diagnostic experience Counseling opportunities (e.g., via parent training, fluency support

groups, adult language groups, etc.) Scheduling of clinical practicum is done by the SLP Clinical Faculty. Students are placed on teams and a rotation schedule to ensure a variety of experiences across the program. In some cases, additional clinical assignments may be requested or necessary to meet the needs of the students. Students may complete an application for an additional clinical assignment at any point during the program. Consideration of all requests will be given and applications will be reviewed and rated by the clinical faculty. The following information should be provided and will be considered when making the determination:

Grades in clinic Met/Not Met marks Current schedule Discuss the reason placement requested Discuss why you are a good fit for the requested placement

In some instances, a decision to change the the rotation schedule may be deemed necessary by the Director of Clinical Education and Clinical Faculty. Factors governing the changes are numerous and may be weighed differently depending upon the perceived needs of the individual student. If such a change is necessary, any of the following factors may be considered:

Disorder courses taken: Situations may occur in which students may be assigned a placement prior to having a course. In the event this happens, students will be appropriately oriented to the placement.

Clock hours previously accrued in graduate clinical placements o Each student's clinical hours are logged in CALIPSO. The scheduling team

uses summary sheets from this database showing each student's number of hours accrued toward the goal of 5 client contact hours in each of the nine disorder areas specified by ASHA. Those areas include Speech Sound Disorders, Fluency, Voice and Resonance (including respiration and phonation), Receptive and Expressive Language, Hearing (including the impact on speech and language), Swallowing (including feeding), Cognition, Social Aspects, and Communication Modalities.

Clock hours projected in current clinical assignments

33

Anticipated date of graduation: Students demonstrating shortages in any of the designated areas of clinical concentration and who are enrolled in their last semester in the Purdue Clinic receive top priority in scheduling of clinical assignments. For detailed information regarding the hours required for certification by ASHA, see “Clinical Practicum Overview.”

Future plans for healthcare/school externships (i.e., semester planned, type of clientele, etc.)

Previous supervisors and locations of clinical assignments Prioritized list of desired clinical placements for the following semester Participation in specialized departmental training grant programs

MASTER SCHEDULE The Master schedule of clinic assignments is typically posted on SharePoint for students and clinical faculty in a HIPAA compliant manner. Students will receive notification when the schedule is posted. In the event that changes and additions to clinical assignments are made, students will be notified. REDUCED CLINIC LOAD Students requesting a reduced clinical caseload must complete a written statement petitioning the Graduate Committee to grant that request. Requests must be turned in with the Clinical Record and Practicum Plan at the end of the preceding semester or at least one month prior to the start of the semester for which the change in caseload is being requested. See the Graduate Handbook for details on this process. Students should discuss a request to drop practicum with the clinic supervisors. Before it can be approved, the drop slip (Form 23) should be obtained from the graduate secretary and must be signed by the Department Head and Director of Clinical Education regardless of when the drop is requested during the semester. EXTERNSHIPS SLHS 64800, the practicum experience in a public school (Education Externship), is arranged

and coordinated by the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS). This

experience prepares graduate students to receive speech-language pathology clinical training in

preparation for working with school-age children should consider this externship when planning

a course of study. Students who wish to complete the Educational Externships are required to

successfully complete SLHS 54400 School Clinical Methods prior to their externships

For an education externship assignment, the following guidelines are considered: o Student teaching placement typically occur in the spring semester but may

occur in the fall. o In order to be considered for an education externship, students are required

to have completed the following graduate courses: Speech Disorders in Children, Language Disorders in Children, and School Clinical Methods.

34

o Prior to being approved for an education externship placement, students must have had at least 2 semesters of clinical assignments working with children and have accrued clock hours working with this population, and grades of "B" or better.

o Students must have an overall GPA of at least 3.0 to be approved to go out on an education externship.

o Students must work with the SLHS Educational Externship Coordinator to arrange their practicum.

For more information on the Educational Externship, please refer to the Educational Externship Handbook. SLHS 64900, the practicum experience in a healthcare setting (Healthcare Externship), is the last component of the MS-SLP clinical program. Students complete all on-campus

coursework and all other clinical assignments before the Healthcare Externship is commenced.

This clinical assignment should be at least 8-10 weeks (full time) in length to meet the

requirements of the Dept. of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences clinical practicum

guidelines. Students enroll in SLHS 64900 for a minimum of two credits (P/F). Arrangements

for this externship are made between Purdue University and the Healthcare Facility. Graduate

students who wish to receive speech-language pathology clinical training in preparation for

working in the healthcare setting should consider this externship.

ELIGIBILITY FOR EXTERNSHIPS An overall clinical practicum grade of B or better must be obtained in the two semesters immediately prior to participating in an externship. If a grade of B- or lower is earned in any of these semesters, it will delay and may preclude an externship if adequate improvement is not demonstrated within the specified time period listed in the Remediation Plan as described in the “Clinical Practicum: Student Evaluation Procedures” section. Successful completion of the first externship with a grade of B or better must be achieved to advance to the last externship. If a grade of B- or lower is received, remediation of the knowledge and skills or professional protocols is required before advancing, which may require additional training at the Purdue University Clinic or a repeat of the externship with a remediation plan. This will extend the time for completion of the Master’s program by at least a semester if the student wants to continue with a clinical master’s degree. If the student has previously completed two remediation plans in previous semesters, their clinical privileges will be terminated. The student will be counseled to obtain a non-clinical Master’s degree. ATTENDANCE Students are to be available to for clinic the first week of classes and should expect to remain available for clinic until the official end of the semester. Students registering for the clinical practicum (SLHS 54900/64800 or 64900) are expected to complete the entire semester. Clinic assignments are based upon the enrollments at the beginning of the

35

semester. A student may find it necessary to drop the practicum after the semester has begun because of unusual circumstances. When this happens, however, it becomes very difficult to reassign the clients to someone else and treatment may suffer as a consequence. The Department’s policy requires that graduate student clinicians attend all scheduled appointments with clients and all class sessions. Personal illness or any sign of COVID-19, death of an immediate family member, or pre-approved extenuating circumstances will be considered an excusable absence and a reason for canceling an appointment with clients. RECORD KEEPING

The SLHS department uses the CALIPSO software to manage documentation for student clinicians and clinical supervisors. All users have private, password-protected access to view their personal information at any time. Students are required to pay the one-time fee of $85 during orientation. All documents pertaining to clinical education are stored in Calipso. Students are responsible for uploading required documents to Calipso and maintaining up-to-date records for the duration of the program. For the list of required documents and instructions on how to upload, see Appendix C. TRACKING CLINICAL HOURS It is expected that students log clinical hours weekly and submit them to their supervisor for approval. Students are responsible for correctly logging hours (number and type of hours obtained) and logging hours in a timely fashion. Students are also responsible for monitoring the type of hours earned over the course of the graduate program. Specific instruction on how to log hours in CALIPSO are reviewed during orientation. See Appendix C for instructions on how to use CALIPSO. When logging hours students should add additional information in the comment box regarding the service provided. Such information should include the following:

Specific clinic/treatment area Client’s initials Dates of service

STUDENT EVALUATION PROCEDURES

Students enrolled in clinical practicum will be formally evaluated on their clinical performance

at least twice each semester using the Clinical Skills Competency Form (CSCF) in Calipso.

Clinical Practicum grades will be derived from a combination of attendance in the seminar,

approach to clinical work, and demonstrated clinical growth of skills in the areas of evaluation,

treatment, professional practice, interaction and personal qualities. The Calipso performance

evaluation allows the student to be rated in the following areas:

Evaluation

Intervention

Preparedness, Interaction, and Personal Qualities

Approach to Clinical Work (met not met section)

36

Calipso ratings are based on a 5-point scale. Please refer to Appendix C for the rubric. A

graduated grading scale based on expected skill level is used to determine the overall rating and

grade for clinical performance. See scale below. Level I (Fall 1, Spring 1) Level II (Summer 1,

Fall 2) Level III (Spring 2, Summer 2). Students must earn a letter grade of B or better to receive

a passing grade for the semester and to count hours for a specific clinical placement. A letter

grade of B- will result in a remediation plan and hours may not be counted.

Students who receive a “not met” in the Professional Practice/SLHS Core Values Section will receive hours for the semester but will be counseled by their clinical educator. This information will be shared with the next assigned clinical educator for monitoring during the next clinical placement. If the student receives a “not met” in the same category during a different semester, the student will be required to meet with the DCE and a remediation plan will be developed. The student will not count those hours from the placement in question, which will most likely result in the need for an additional semester of clinical practicum. Although clinical educators are responsible for rating student performance, and grades are derived based on supervisor ratings, the DCE, as instructor of record, has the final determination of all practicum grades. SUPERVISOR FEEDBACK At the end of each semester, students are given an opportunity to provide written feedback to

clinical supervisors regarding their clinical experience through the university course evaluation

tool. This method of feedback is useful to clinical faculty and in improving clinical education.

Supervisor feedback should be submitted prior to the end of the semester.

37

LINES OF COMMUNICATION In the event that the student has a concern regarding the clinical education support and/or clinical performance, the student may do the following in a hierarchical order: Step 1: The student should directly discuss the concern with the clinical educator. A discussion with the clinical educator should include information about individual learning style and suggestions about the most beneficial learning style for the individual student clinician. If the concern is not resolved: Step 2: The student should contact the Director of Clinical Education in Speech Language Pathology, who will in turn hold a meeting with the clinical educator and the student. The Director will act as a facilitator and may include the Clinic Director in this, or subsequent meetings. If the concern is in regard to the Director of Clinical Education for Speech Language Pathology, the student should contact their faculty advisor to act as the facilitator. If the concern is not resolved: Step 3: The student may negotiate with the Director of Clinical Education in Speech-Language Pathology regarding additional people who can participate in a meeting with the Director and the clinical educator. Additional people may include other faculty, the faculty advisor, and/or the graduate student representative or a student colleague. If the concern is not resolved: Step 4: The student should contact the Department Head. Additional meetings with the supervisor, the Director of Clinical Education, and the Clinic Director may take place. REMEDIATION PLAN

A Remediation Plan is developed when a student clinician is not demonstrating knowledge and skills

commensurate with the expectations for the student’s current level in clinical practicum. This clinician

will typically have earned a grade of B- or lower in clinical practicum and/or have received a Not Met on

one or more of the Professional Practice/SLHS Core Values Standards. This is a plan developed by the

Director of Clinical Education in SLP along with the Clinical Faculty who are currently supervising a

student clinician. The Remediation Plan will include:

Description of expected knowledge and skills, which are not being demonstrated by the

clinician.

Specific goals and behaviors that must be demonstrated to indicate knowledge and skills

appropriate for current practicum level.

Period within which these improvements must be demonstrated and consistently

maintained.

38

A maximum number of two Remediation Plans will be developed for a student clinician

during the MS-SLP program. Should a student earn a grade of B- or consistent ratings of

not met for Approach to Clinical Work during a practicum experience following the

completion of two plans, his/her clinical privileges will be terminated.

PROBATION STATUS

The Probation status given to a student clinician who is working under the guidelines of a current Remediation Plan.

A student clinician who has successfully completed a Remediation Plan is no longer on Probation. However, the skills delineated in the Remediation Plan must be maintained and if they are not, the student clinician will automatically be returned to Probationary status and another Remediation Plan will be developed and clinical privileges may be terminated.

Student clinicians who are on probation must obtain a grade of B or better in all clinical assignments and must obtain a rating of “met” on all professional protocols from all Clinical Faculty currently supervising this student in order to be removed from Probationary status.

A student clinician who does not successfully complete the Remediation Plan within the specified time frame will either have the Remediation Plan extended or have clinical privileges terminated.

39

CHAPTER 4: INFORMATION FOR CLINICAL EDUCATORS CLINICAL FACULTY OVERVIEW Clinical Faculty focus principally on excellence in instruction and engagement providing clinical education and experiences in their areas of specialty. Clinical faculty have autonomy in designing and developing clinical experiences for students that are consistent with program and professional standards. In addition to instructional responsibilities on campus, clinical faculty also may be professionals in a practice site and provide clinical education of students; collaborate and develop professional relationships with industry and governmental agencies; and/or coordinate internships, co-ops, service learning and other student activities outside the classroom. CLINICAL EDUCATOR REQUIREMENTS Individuals providing clinical education must meet degree requirements, hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from ASHA, state license, two hours of professional development in clinical supervision, and 9 months of full-time clinical experience post clinical fellowship. Clinical educators are responsible for completing the risk management packet (which includes HIPAA and FERPA training) and submitting the required documents to the department administrative assistant. Additionally, proof of certification and licensure should be uploaded into Calipso. Completion of professional development should be verified through the ASHA website by each clinical educator. SUPERVISION OF PRACTICUM Students are distributed as evenly as possible among the clinical faculty each semester and assigned to approximately two supervisors during each semester of practicum. At least 25% of each session, including screening, identification and treatment, requires direct supervision by an SLP who holds the CCC in the appropriate area; however, the program recommends 50-100% direct supervision for new graduate clinicians. More frequent supervision will be dependent upon clinician needs as determined by the supervisor. For more information on clinical supervision, please visit https://www.asha.org/policy/TR2008-

00296.htm. CLINIC SCHEDULING FOR STUDENTS Clinical faculty are responsible for scheduling students that have been assigned to them in their respective clinics. Clinical faculty may access student scheduling documents via SharePoint when notified by the DCE. Once clinical faculty make individual clinical assignments, a master schedule will be published for students to access. Clinical faculty will also inform students of requirements for their individual clinics. Should scheduling problems arise, clinical faculty should notify the DCE as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

40

Clinical faculty are responsible for orienting students to their respective clinics. Clinical faculty are also responsible for providing written documentation of expectations, conducting midterm and final evaluations, and providing verbal and/or written feedback. CLINIC SCHEDULING FOR PATIENTS Clinical faculty are responsible for facilitating client appointments. This may include sharing information about clinical services offered and recruiting clients for services offered. Clinical faculty can find necessary client information in the electronic medical records system, PNC. Utilizing the assistance of front office staff is encouraged. When scheduling clients for services, clinical faculty should ensuring clients do not have a balance from a previous semester. If clients have an unpaid balance, they should be referred to the SLHS business office. END-OF-SEMESTER PAPERWORK At the end of the semester, clinical educators are responsible for submitting the required clinic paperwork to document clinical competencies met by students. Additionally, clinical educators are responsible for submitting information on the number of clients seen during the semester using the population tracking form (Appendix D), and their tentative workload report/schedule for the upcoming semester semester (Appendix D). CLINICAL EDUCATION TRACKING SYSTEM The SLHS department uses the CALIPSO software to manage documentation for clinical education experiences. Clinical educators should provide their ASHA number and email address to the DCE in order to generate the PIN to be used for registration. Once clinical educators receive a PIN, he/she will be able to register as a clinical educator for CALIPSO. Instructions for registering as a user of CALIPSO will be attached in the email containing the registration PIN. All clinical educators must register as a user for the specific program in which he/she is supervising. Having access to CALIPSO via one graduate program does not grant access to other programs. Clinical faculty are also provided with administrative access to Calipso. VERIFYING CLINICAL HOURS

Clinical educators are expected to approve clinical hours tracked and submitted by students on a weekly basis through Calipso. Hours are submitted to clinical educators by students should contain the appropriate identifying information. Hours submitted should be closely monitor by clinical educators for accuracy. Instructions on how to use Calipso can be found in Appendix D. Clinical educators should keep in mind that clock hours will be credited to a clinician’s practicum experience when they obtain a grade of B or better in each practicum experience. Clock hours will not be recorded for practicum experiences in which a grade of B- or lower is obtained. If a grade of B- or lower is obtained during a

41

practicum experience, a Remediation Plan may be developed as described in the “Clinical Practicum: Student Evaluation Procedures” section. STUDENT EVALUATION PROCEDURES The Clinical Skills Competency Form (CSCF) was designed to collect information regarding a student’s professional and interpersonal skills. Students enrolled in clinical practicum will be formally evaluated on their clinical skills competency at least twice each semester through CALIPSO. Clinical educators and clinicians complete the appropriate sections of the form at mid-term and at the conclusion of the semester to determine a rating which reflects the independence and competence of the clinician during each practicum experience. The CSCF ratings/grades will be used to determine attainment of the competencies on the KASA. Grades of B or better will indicate attainment of the appropriate KASA knowledge and skills. However, grades of B- or lower will indicate that those competencies have not been attained. Clinical Practicum grades will be derived from a combination of demonstrated clinical growth and the evaluation of skills in the areas of preparation, clinical behavior during therapy/assessment sessions, evaluation skills, interpersonal relationships, personal qualities, and SLHS Core Values. Students will receive mid-term and final evaluations. The CALIPSO performance evaluation allows the student to be rated in the following areas:

Evaluation Intervention Preparedness, Interaction, Personal Qualities, and SLHS Core Values

CALIPSO ratings for Evaluation; Intervention; and Preparedness, Interaction, and Personal Qualities are based on a 5-point scale: 1 = Not Evident/Not Met: Skill has been taught; however, specific repeated direction from supervisor does not alter unsatisfactory performance, or specific repeated direction/demonstration is required to perform clinical skills and to accurately evaluate self/client (Skill is present <25% of the time) 2 = Emerging/Not Met: Specific supervisory direction results in some generalization and application of knowledge to perform competently and to accurately evaluate self/client (Skill is present 26-50% of the time) 3 = Present/Met: General and some specific supervisory direction results in competence and accurate evaluation of self/client (Skill is present 51-75% of the time) 4 = Consistent/Met: Demonstrates independence but some supervisory direction needed to perform competently and accurately evaluate self/client (Skill is present 76-90% of the time)

42

5 = Exceptional/Met: Demonstrates independence by taking initiative; displays superior competencies and accurately evaluates self/client (Skill is present >90% of the time) Calipso ratings for Professional Practice/SLHS Core Values Standards are based on a “Met or Not Met” rating. If a student earns a mark of “Not Met” in this section, the clinical educator is responsible for counseling the student regarding the unsatisfactory performance and sharing that information with the upcoming clinical educator team and the DCE. The new clinical education team is responsible for closely monitoring that specific skill to ensure student success. Should the student continue to demonstrate unsatisfactory performance with the same skill and receive another mark of “Not Met”, the student will be required to meet with the DCE and a remediation plan will be developed. The overall SLHS 54900 practicum grade is determined by averaging and weighing the individual ratings scores based on number of hours obtained from clinical educators. A graduated grading scale based on expected skill level is used to determine the overall rating and practicum grade for clinical performance. The CSCF ratings/grades will be used to determine attainment of the competencies on the Knowledge and Skills Assessment (KASA). Grades of B or better will indicate attainment of the appropriate KASA knowledge and skills. However, grades of B- or lower will indicate that those competencies have not been attained. If a grade of B- or lower is obtained during a practicum experience, a Remediation Plan will be developed (See Appendix C).

STUDENT EVALUATION OF CLINICAL EDUCATORS Clinical supervisors are evaluated at the end of the semester by graduate clinicians. These evaluations are submitted through the university’s course evaluation tool. Purdue course evaluation have a delayed release and may take a year to release results. Supervisors are expected to monitor and adjust teaching styles to meet the needs of the students. Supervisors who receive consistently poor ratings may be asked to complete professional development geared toward effective teaching/clinical supervision and submit proof of training to the DCE. PROFESSIONAL INFRACTION Students are expected to know and abide by the standards outlined in the Clinic Handbook as

well as the ASHA Standards and Code of Ethics. Students who are non-compliant may receive

written notice of any violations while in clinical practicum via the Professional Protocol

Infraction Form (Appendix C). Clinical educators should complete the form by describing the

nature of the violation. A copy of this form should be given to the student, the academic advisor,

and uploaded into Calipso. The DCE should also be notified of the infraction. Any infraction

given to a student should be reflected in Calipso on the final evaluation.

43

FACULTY MEETINGS Clinical faculty typically meet once or twice a month to discuss issues related to clinical

education. Day and time of clinical faculty meetings vary by semester. Department faculty

meetings are held once a month on the first Tuesday of each month. Clinical faculty are expected

to attend faculty meeting. 54900 CLINICAL PRACTICUM SEMINAR As a part of 54900 Clinical Practicum, weekly seminars are held during the fall and spring semesters. The class meets on Fridays from 12:30 pm-1:20 pm. Clinical faculty share the load in facilitating discussion and delivering lectures during this class period. MATERIALS REQUESTS Clinical faculty in need of resources/materials for their particular clinic may request items using the materials request form located on SharePoint under Resources. Clinical faculty can enter their request in the spreadsheet or notify the clinic assistants of the materials needed. The request will be reviewed and approved by the DCE and the clinic AA will place the order. ADVISING Clinical faculty are paired with tenure-track faculty to advise MS-SLP students. Advising teams should meet with their students once a semester to provide guidance on the Plan of Study and ensure students are on track to meet program requirements. PART-TIME CLINICAL EDUCATORS The following guidelines apply to all off-campus clinical educators (CE):

The off-campus clinical educator is expected provide the student with clinical orientation, observation, and practicum that is as consistent as possible with the student’s clinical interests, needs and capabilities and with the facility’s caseload, space, equipment, staff, and client management policies and procedures.

The off-campus clinical educator to whom the student is assigned is expected to hold a current ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in the appropriate area. ASHA requires that we obtain verification of each educator’s current ASHA membership and state licensure. The clinical educator is expected to update this information in CALIPSO.

The clinical educator at the facility is expected to supervise a minimum of 25% of the work being done by the student clinician. However, our program encourages at least 50% direct supervision.

Supervision should be appropriately scheduled throughout the duration of the off-campus assignment.

44

The off-campus educator is expected communicate with the assigned department liaison for monitoring of the supervisory process and if necessary, schedule phone calls or face-to-face visits for review of the student’s performance and progress.

The off-campus clinical educator should expect access to risk management information and liability insurance.

The off-campus clinical educator understands that the student, while not being considered an employee of the facility, will be subject to all of the facility’s policies and procedures and will be directly responsible to the off-campus clinical educator and/or the department liaison.

The off-campus clinical educator is expected to monitor and approve hours submitted via CALIPSO.

The off-campus clinical educator is expected provide frequent and consistent feedback to students regarding their clinical performance. Supervisors will also provide formal evaluations at midterm and the end of the semester.

The off-campus clinical educator is expected to have 2 hours of professional development/continuing education in clinical instruction/supervision prior to mentoring.

The off-campus clinical educator can request a copy of the Practicum Supervisor Evaluation from the DCE.

NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES FOR PURDUE’S HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED, AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY. If you have any questions about this Notice, please contact: Privacy Officer Purdue University West Lafayette, IN Telephone: (765) 494-7113 E-mail: hipaa-privacy@purdue.edu WHO MUST COMPLY WITH THIS NOTICE This Notice applies to the following departments that provide health care services to students, faculty, and others, including but not limited to: the Purdue University Student Health Center in West Lafayette, the Purdue Pharmacy, and Purdue’s SLHS Audiology and Speech-Language Clinics. It also applies to the following portions of the University that provide business support to the listed health providers: Accounts Receivable, Internal Audit, Information Technology at Purdue (partial), Student Services Workstation Technology, Public Records Office, Printing Services, Insurance Services Enterprise, Environmental Health, Pharmacy, Nursing and Health Sciences Technical Services, SLHS Business and Main Offices, Bursar, Business Services Computing, University Collections-Loans, and SLHS Electronics and Technical Support. For convenience, the listed health care providers and the listed business support groups will be referred to in this Notice as “Health Care Providers.” The full list of covered components at Purdue University may be found at the following web site: http://www.purdue.edu/hipaa. This Notice does not apply to the remainder of Purdue’s departments and schools. Purdue’s Health Care Providers are legally required to protect the privacy of your health information and to provide you with a notice of privacy practices. This Notice describes how the Health Care Providers may use and disclose your protected health and medical information. It also describes some rights you have regarding your health information. Health information is information about you that is received, used, or disclosed by Purdue’s Health Care Providers concerning your physical or mental health, health care services provided to you, or your health insurance benefits and payments. Protected health information may contain information that identifies you, including your name, address, and other identifying information. HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION Mental health information, including psychological or psychiatric treatment records, and information relating to communicable diseases, including HIV records, are subject to

53

special protections under Indiana law. We will generally only release such records or information with your written authorization or with an appropriate court order. Alcohol and drug abuse treatment information is also subject to special protections under federal law. We will usually need to get your written authorization or an appropriate court order before we release this information. Except where there are special protections under Indiana law or other federal laws, we may use and disclose your health information without your authorization for the following purposes: For treatment. The Health Care Providers may use and disclose your health information to provide or assist with your treatment. For example, we may provide your health information to a laboratory in order to obtain a test result important for diagnosing or treating a condition you may have. To obtain payment for health care services. We may use and disclose your health information in order to bill and collect payment for the treatment and services provided to you. For example, we may provide limited portions of your health information to your health plan to get paid for the health care services we provide to you. We may also provide your health information to our business associates who assist us with billing, such as billing companies, claims processing companies, and others that process our health care claims. We will only disclose the minimum amount of information needed to obtain payment. For health care operations. Your health information may also be used or disclosed to improve and conduct health care operations. For example, we may use your health information in order to evaluate the quality of health care services that you received, or to evaluate the performance of the Health Care professionals who provided health care services to you. We may also provide your health information to our auditors, attorneys, consultants, and others in order to make sure we are complying with the laws that affect us. We may also use a sign-in sheet at registration or other appropriate areas, and we may call you by name in waiting and service areas. When a disclosure is required by federal, state, or local law, judicial or administrative proceedings, or law enforcement. For example, we make disclosures when a law requires that we report information to government agencies and law enforcement personnel about victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence; when dealing with gunshot and other wounds; or when ordered in a judicial or administrative proceeding. Public health activities. For example, we report required information about various diseases to government officials in charge of collecting that information, and we may provide coroners with necessary information relating to an individual’s death. Health oversight activities. For example, we will provide information to assist the government when it conducts an investigation or inspection of a health care provider or organization. Research purposes. In certain limited circumstances, we may provide health information in order to conduct medical research. Use of this information for research is subject to

54

either a special approval process, or removal of information that may directly identify you. In most instances, we will require your written authorization prior to using or disclosing health information for research purposes. Avoiding a serious threat of harm. In order to avoid a serious threat to the health or safety of a person or the public, we may provide health information to law enforcement personnel or persons able to prevent or lessen such harm. Certain government functions. We may disclose health information of military personnel and veterans in certain situations, as well as for national security purposes or when required to assist with governmental intelligence operations. Workers’ compensation. We disclose health information in order to comply with workers’ compensation laws. Appointment reminders and health-related benefits or services. We may use health information to provide appointment reminders, or give you information about treatment alternatives, other health care services or benefits we offer. Business Associates. We will share your health information with business associates that assist our Health Care Providers. Business associates include people or companies outside of Purdue who provide services to our Health Care Providers. For example, health information may be disclosed by the Student Health Center to a bill processing company to obtain payment for services rendered. We have agreements with our business associates to protect the privacy of your health information. Disclosures to family, friends, or others. In very limited cases, we may provide health information to family members, or close friends who are directly involved in your care or the payment for your health care, unless you tell us not to. For example, we may tell a friend who asks for you by name where you are in our facility, and we may allow a friend or family member to pick up a prescription for you. We may also contact a family member if you have a serious injury or in other emergency circumstances. We may discuss medical information in the presence of a family member or friend if you are also present and indicate that it is okay to do so. All other uses and disclosures require your prior written authorization. In any other situation not described above, we will ask for your written authorization before using or disclosing any of your health information. If you do sign an authorization to disclose your health information, you can later revoke that authorization in writing. This will stop any future uses and disclosures to the extent that we have not taken any action relying on the authorization. RIGHTS YOU HAVE REGARDING YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION The Right to Request Limits on Uses and Disclosures of Your Health Information. You have the right to ask that Purdue’s Health Care Providers limit the use and disclosure of

55

your health information. We will consider your request, but we do not have to accept it. If we do, we will put any limits in writing and abide by them except in emergency situations where the information is needed. You may not limit the uses and disclosures that we are legally required to make. The Right to Choose How We Send Health Information to You. You have the right to ask that we send your health information to you at an alternate address (for example, sending information to your work address rather than your home address) or by alternate means (for example, by fax instead of regular mail). We must agree to your request if we can easily provide it in the format you requested. The Right to See and Get Copies of Your Health Information. In most cases, you have the right to look at or get copies of your health information that we have, but you must make the request in writing. If we do not have your health information but we know who does, we will tell you how to get it. We will respond to you within 30 days after receiving your written request. In certain situations, we may deny your request. If we do, we will tell you, in writing, our reasons for the denial and explain your right to have the denial reviewed. If you request copies of your health information, we will charge you a reasonable fee as permitted by Indiana law. Instead of providing the health information you requested, we may provide you with a summary or explanation of the health information. We will only do this if you agree to receive information in that form and if you agree to pay the cost in advance. The Right to Get a List of Certain Disclosures We Have Made. You have the right to request a list of instances in which we have disclosed your health information. The list will not include uses or disclosures made for treatment, payment, and health care operation, or information given to your family or friends with your permission or in your presence without objection. It will also not include disclosures made directly to you or when you have given us a written authorization for the release of health information. The list will also not include information released for national security purposes or given to correctional institutions. To obtain this list, you must make a request in writing to the Privacy Officer identified above. The list we will give you will include disclosures made in the last six years unless you request a shorter time, but will not include any disclosure that occurred before April 14, 2003. We will provide the list to you upon request once each year at no charge The Right to Amend or Update Your Health Information. If you believe that there is a mistake in your health information or that a piece of important information is missing, you have the right to request that we amend the existing information. You must provide the request and your reason for the request in writing to the Privacy Officer identified above. We may deny your request in writing if the health information is: 1) correct and complete; 2) not created by us; 3) not allowed to be disclosed, or 4) not part of our records. Our written denial will state the reasons for the denial and explain your right to file a written statement of disagreement with the denial. If you do not file a statement of disagreement, you have the right to ask that your request and our denial be attached to all future disclosures of your health information. If we approve your request, we will make the

56

change to your health information, tell you that we have done it, and tell others that need to know about the change to your health information. The Right to Get This Notice by E-Mail. You have the right to get a copy of this Notice by e-mail. Even if you have agreed to receive Notice via e-mail, you also have the right to request a paper copy of this notice. CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE Purdue’s Health Care Providers are required to abide by the terms of this Notice of Privacy Practices. However, we may change our notice at any time. The new notice will be effective for all protected health information maintained by the covered Health Care Providers of Purdue. A revised Notice of Privacy Practices will be posted at the main entrances to our covered healthcare provider areas, may be requested from the Privacy Officer listed above, and may be found on our website at www.purdue.edu/hipaa.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATIONS

What is the purpose of the appointment? The purpose of the appointment is to evaluate speech, language and hearing skills, to learn whether or not there is a problem, to study the nature of the problem, to determine whether or not therapy is indicated at this time, to make preliminary plans for therapy if it is recommended and to provide helpful suggestions. How long will it take? You can expect to spend approximately 1 ½ to 3 hours at our facility on the first visit. How much will it cost? You will be charged a fee of $235.00 for this service. This fee includes all speech-language testing as well as pure-tone and tympanometric screening if appropriate. In some instances, insurance claims may be submitted. What will be done during the evaluation? We will talk with you (and/or your child), observe you (your child) in a variety of tasks, check your (your child's) hearing, and discuss our findings with you. What will you tell me? We will discuss the results of our evaluation with you and indicate whether or not therapy is advisable at this time. If therapy is recommended, we will discuss the alternatives available to you here and elsewhere. What do I have to do to get ready for the appointment? We will schedule the appointment only after we have received the enclosed questionnaire. If you are bringing your child, we need to have an accurate history of his/her development. This takes time, and sometimes it is difficult to search your memory for answers to some questions. You might find it helpful to consult other family members, baby books, etc. We realize that it is often difficult to remember all of the specific information requested, but do your best. Use the spaces marked COMMENT to explain anything you think we should know that was not specifically asked. Fill out the enclosed questionnaire as completely as you can. All information is confidential, for use by the speech and hearing staff only. What is the purpose of the Information Release Form?

62

This authorizes us to obtain information, when appropriate, from other agencies or professionals who have seen you (your child). If we receive these reports prior to the appointment, we will have a broader range of information to consider in helping you or your child. Of course, this information will be treated in a confidential manner. What if I find that I cannot keep the appointment after it has been made? Remember, this time is reserved for you alone. If you find that you will be unable to keep your appointment, call us at (765) 494-3789 immediately, so that we can substitute someone else in your place. You can also indicate whether or not you want us to make an appointment for you at a later date. If it is necessary for you to call, please ask to speak with the Speech Diagnostic coordinator you have been in contact with. Where is the Speech and Hearing Clinic located? The clinic is located in Lyles-Porter Hall on the campus of Purdue University. Our building is accessible to the handicapped. A campus map is enclosed for your convenience. Where can I park? Parking is available in the Harrison Street Garage. Please remember to have your ticket validated in 1042 before leaving or you will be responsible for the parking charges.
