Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention

Aims & Scope

Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments.

The primary aims of EBCAI are to: 1.Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; 2.Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; 3.Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and 4.Disseminate research on EBP.

We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.

We select and appraise the latest and highest quality studies and reviews related to assessment, intervention, diagnosis, and prognosis published across 60+ professional journals in speech-language pathology and related fields.

We make these appraisals accessible through value-added structured abstracts that include expert commentary about the quality of the evidence as well as its practical implications.

These value-added structured abstracts afford the practitioner a one-stop reading experience to stay on top of the latest research findings in order to facilitate evidence-based clinical decision-making.

Researchers and university professors will benefit from access to cutting-edge and clinically relevant studies for pursuing further in teaching and research.
