“…Cunha et al, 2014;Faria, 2012). In other countries most graduate SLP programs have a university clinic where graduate students obtain most of their clinical hours (Prezas & Edge, 2016). These clinics have a social purpose, providing assistance and support to the community, but have also the orientation of clinical educators to students that generally receive one-on-one supervision (Prezas & Edge, 2016).…”

For the purposes of professional development clinical education is crucial to speech-language pathologists (SLP). There is limited information about clinical education of SLP students in Portugal. The aim of this study was to describe and compare the mutual perceptions of Portuguese SLP’s clinical educators and students’ of SLP in a Portuguese private University Clinic. Five SLP clinical educators and nine students participated in a one on one semi-structured interview. Content analysis was used to explore interview data. The analysis led to the identification of four themes shared by both groups. Findings from this study provided an insight about clinical education characteristics and challenges reported by clinical educators and students in Portugal and to compare those results with others mentioned in other countries. The findings of this study suggest that clinical educators and students identify, in general, similar characteristics regarding effective/non-effective clinical educator profile and benefits regarding clinical education process. The sample provides preliminary data on Portuguese clinical educator’s and student’s experience of clinical education.

Purpose: Practicing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) reveal a perceived lack of preparedness to deliver augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) services. This is concerning because it is indicative of inadequate graduate training in AAC. The purpose of this clinical focus article was to present a collaborative model of clinical education for AAC preservice training. This clinical focus article will provide recommendations to support practicing SLPs in the provision of effective clinical instruction for preservice clinicians working with individuals with complex communication needs who require AAC. Method: There is an urgent need for improved training for clinical educators providing instruction in AAC. In this clinical focus article, a literature review of the existing evidence regarding best practices in clinical education and AAC training for SLPs was completed to explore current theoretical and practical approaches. The evidence was utilized to create a collaborative model of recommended clinical education in AAC. Results: There is limited guidance for clinical educators when it comes to training preservice clinicians. This clinical focus article provides recommendations for AAC training of preservice SLPs by clinical educators in the field of speech-language pathology. Conclusions: The collaborative model proposed in this clinical focus article delivers a roadmap to guide practicing SLPs in the development of AAC clinical competence of preservice clinicians. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.
