Comparisons were made between recent graduates (post 2006) and pre-2006 graduates to determine if differences existed in their academic and clinical experiences or their confidence in working with children with ASDs. Method: A 46-item, web-based, national survey was used. Participants were recruited through e-mail and listservs for American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Special Interest Divisions 1 (Language, Learning, and Education) and 16 (School-Based Issues). Results: Recent graduates reported a greater amount of graduate coursework relating to ASDs than pre-2006 graduates. However, the pre-2006 graduates reported significantly greater confidence in the areas of counseling parents of children who exhibit "red flags" of ASDs and addressing social communication, literacy, and academics in intervention. Conclusion: Results of the current survey indicated an increase in the amount of preprofessional training that SLPs receive relating to ASDs. Nonetheless, the majority of SLPs reported that they could have benefitted from additional clinical experience and training working with children with ASDs. The greater degree of confidence reported by the pre-2006 graduates highlights the importance of experience and continuing education for professionals in the field of speech-language pathology. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
