Welcome From the ASHA President

On behalf of the ASHA Board of Directors, ASHA staff, and our
Mile-High host city, welcome to the 2015 ASHA Convention!
As many of you know, Im quite fond of quotes, and so I feel it is very apropos
to bring a little Shakespeare into this welcome by saying, The past is prologue.
By that I mean, as we gather in 2015 in Denver, we launch our annual gathering
from a historical position of great strength and special significance. In my
column in The ASHA Leader in August, I referred to that history, when we
came to Denver in 1968 during a very different, very turbulent time in our
professional and national history. At that Convention, we heard a debate that
changed our world, and it started an evolution in the professions that led us to
adopt something more than professional standards, best practices, research, and a code of ethics. It
began an evolution toward a profession with a larger worldview, a sense of social responsibility, and a
desire to cultivate diversity, inclusion, and minority membership. Could Denver have had any greater
impact on us than that? I dont think so!
This years Convention brings so many opportunities for that transformative growth, and I cant begin
to list them all. So I want to encourage you to spend some time right away, browsing through this
program book, referring to the Program Planner app, and seeking the counsel of colleagues and staff
to make sure you are blazing your own personal trail to the best and most effective experience you
have ever had at an ASHA Conventionor at any convention, for that matter! Explore the sessions,
the posters, the exhibits, the special events. Connect with colleagues. Make new friends. And, most of
all, be prepared to step outside your comfort zone. After all, trailblazing is not for the faint of heart!
In closing, I want to thank all of my colleagues on the Convention Program Committee and the 2015
Convention Team for all of the hard work and planning that it takes to bring these opportunities to
life. The Program Committee has really set the stage for a great Convention, and set the bar very high
for the rest of us. Dr. Seuss, another of my favorites, perhaps said it best:
Welcome From the ASHA President
And so, here we are again, 47 years later, with the theme of Changing Minds. Changing Lives.
Leading the Way. In fact, its almost as though were bookending our previous visit to Denver. We
changed minds in 1968. We changed lives. And we have certainly led the way. Although we still
have a ways to go, there can be no doubt that we have blazed a trail in terms of culture change
and addressing the social challenges that we faced in 1968. So, where does that leave us? What are
todays challenges, and are we prepared to meet them head-on, as we did in the past? The world has
become an even more complicated place to live and work since 1968and, make no mistake, we
face challenges today that are equally imposing as the previous ones. Thats why we are gathering
here in Denverto learn, discuss, innovate, and grow, in preparation for making a transformative
impact on our communities, in the professions, and yes, in our world.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not.
Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
Lets honor our history in Denver and reach new heights together, as we change minds, change lives,
and lead the way!

Session Changes & Cancellations
Social Media Policy
Both Oral Sessions and Poster Presentations are subject to change,

due to cancellations or presenter changes. (Presenters who must
cancel a session should send written notification to papers@asha.
org as soon as possible.) Please refer to the session information
listed in the online Program Planner tool, as it is always up to date.
ASHA encourages the use of social media, including blogging,

at the ASHA Convention as a way for attendees to summarize,
highlight, and promote presentations or share their thoughts on
their experiences in general, provided that presentation content
and materials are not shared in full and authors or presenters are
referenced and cited where appropriate. Please keep in mind that
presenters hold the intellectual property rights and copyrights to
their materials.
Program addenda listing session changes, updates, and

cancellations will be available for attendees at the Information
Booths and other key areas each morning during the Convention.
The addenda will be posted online at www.asha.org/events/
convention/program each morning. Last minute updates and
changes will also be tweeted from the official ASHA Convention
twitter account, @ASHA_events.
Session Room Behavior & Attendee Etiquette

Extensive planning goes into scheduling sessions in appropriately
sized rooms; however, the popularity of sessions is not always
predictable, and overcrowding occasionally occurs. If a session
room reaches capacity, attendees must follow the instructions
provided by ASHA staff, Convention Center staff, student
volunteers, or security staff. Attendees may be instructed not to
stand against the walls or block the aisles or doors, or they may be
denied entry if the room is too crowded. ASHA is obligated to abide
by the guidelines established by the Fire Marshal in Denver. If a
room reaches full capacity and we do not have your cooperation,
the Fire Marshal has the authority to delay or even terminate
the meeting until any problem has been satisfactorily corrected.
Please be courteous and respectful to staff and student volunteers
when you are directed elsewhere. See information about Overflow
Rooms on page 35 and the Code of Conduct on page 25.
Attendees are asked to be respectful of their fellow attendees and
be mindful of potential disruptions during sessions, such as eating
food, use of phones or other mobile devices, or the presence of
infants and children. Phones and other mobile devices should
always be silenced. Attendees should not be photographing
presentation slides unless explicit permission has been granted by
the presenter(s); please respect the Recording Policy.
Speaker Ready Room

A room at the Convention Center is designated for speakers to
finalize and upload presentation slides and notes. Technicians are
available to assist in preparation of your materials and to answer
questions regarding operation of audio visual equipment. All Oral
Session presenters must check in at the Speaker Ready Room at
least 4 hours in advance of their respective sessions. See page 39
for details.
Sustainability & Green Practices

The Colorado Convention Center was the first convention center
in the nation to receive Level One certification from ASTM
International for its adherence to high standards for sustainable
meetings. The largest LEED building in Colorado, the Convention
Center has a dedicated sustainability manager to help keep
meetings green. The center also maintains an on-site farm that
annually produces 3,600 pounds of fruits, vegetables, and herbs
used by the in-house catering service.
Temperature
Meeting rooms will be kept cool. Plan to dress in layers or
bring a sweater; temperatures may vary from room to room.
Business casual dress is appropriate at the Convention. Daytime
temperatures in Denver in November average in the mid-50s and
nighttime temperatures in the mid-30s.
Shuttles
Limited shuttle service will operate Wednesday, November 11,
through Saturday, November 14, to make travel to and from the
Colorado Convention Center convenient for ASHA Convention
attendees who are staying at official ASHA hotels that are not
within easy walking distance. ADA-accessible shuttle service for
those with mobility issues will be available for all ASHA hotels. See
page 18 for more details about shuttle routes.

Oral Seminars (1 or 2 hours)
Invited Sessions
Oral Seminarsthe standard concurrent sessionsoffer a broad

array of educational programming and CEU opportunities. These
sessions provide in-depth continuing education for speechlanguage pathologists, audiologists, and speech, language, and
hearing scientists. Emphasis is on clinical applications and research
advances, backed by appropriate levels of evidence. Content is
tailored to fit either a 1- or 2-hour time block.
As you read through the session listings in the Program Book or

the Program Planner, you may notice some abstracts indicate
that the presenters have been invited by the Convention
Program Committee, a Special Interest Group (SIG), or a Specialty
Certification Board. These presenter(s) hold expertise on the
particular topic or subject area of the session and were specially
invited to present. There is no special registration or ticket required
for sessions with invited presenters; attendance is included with
your ASHA Convention registration.
Technical Research Sessions (30 minutes)

Technical Research Sessions are 20-minute oral presentations
focusing on research or on research in progress. The purpose is
to efficiently communicate scientific information. A 10-minute
question-and-answer period follows the presentation.
Technical Clinical Sessions (30 minutes)

Technical Clinical Sessions are 20-minute oral presentations
focusing on the technical aspects of a particular diagnostic or
therapeutic strategy. Developed as how to programs, they
emphasize the applied, clinical aspects of the professions. The
presentation is followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer
period, which allows the audience to interact with the presenter
and receive clarification on any information or procedure
presented. This session format offers professionals who provide
direct clinical service in various work settings with quick, new
solutions and techniques to aid in their work.
Poster Sessions (90 minutes)

Poster presentations combine a verbal presentation with a visual
display to efficiently communicate scientific ideas. During these
presentations, viewers guide themselves through a posters basics,
freeing the presenter to focus on explanation, clarification, and
discussion of key elements of the work and to answer questions.
A poster presentation is less formal and more interactive than an
Oral Seminar. Be on the lookout in the Poster Hall for Meritorious
Poster submissions!
Trailblazer Sessions
The Trailblazer series of sessions reflect our 2015 theme Changing
Minds. Changing Lives. Leading the Way by featuring concepts
that are forward thinking, innovative, or transformational with
respect to the professions, or speech-language or hearing science,
and have unique applicability to the discipline. The Trailblazer
sessions may also address significant changeeither past or
ongoingthat has deeply impacted the professions, or they may
promote or relate to an aspect of ASHAs Envisioned Future. The
sessions selected to make up the Trailblazer series received the
highest ratings from Convention Program Committee reviewers
and will focus on a variety of thought-provoking, impactful
topics. All Trailblazer sessions are CEU-eligible and are offered
across several formats, including 1- and 2-hour sessions, technical
sessions, and Short Courses.
RESOURCES
In addition to the Program Book, there are several
other resources you may use to plan your ASHA
Convention schedule.
Short Courses (3-hour ticketed sessions)

Short Courses are ticketed Oral Seminars with an additional fee
per course. Short Courses emphasize clinical applications and/
or science supported by appropriate levels of evidence. Short
Course presenters must demonstrate expertise in their respective
areas; they are experienced in presenting continuing professional
education programs. Material being presented is at the
intermediate level or above. We provide ticket holders with a CD
containing all Short Course presentation files at the Convention.
Use the online Program Planner to search for

sessions and create a detailed personal schedule
that fits your professional interests.
You may also refer to the Pocket Planner, available
as a PDF document to download from the ASHA
website, for a quick overview of Oral Seminars
listed by date and time.
Check the Program Addendum and Daily Update
sheets for updates and changes to the schedule.
Last minute changes are also tweeted from the
official ASHA Convention twitter account,
@ASHA_events. Session information in the
Program Planner is always up to date and accurate.

O ver flow R ooms

We understand how important it is for you
to attend the sessions of your choice.
The ASHA Convention is a large event and, typically,
more than 50 concurrent sessions are being presented
during each time block throughout each day. Extensive
planning goes into scheduling and the Convention
Program Committee strives to assign appropriatelysized rooms for all presenters.
Factors such as the popularity of a presenter or topic,
the history of session attendance in past years, other
concurrent sessions on similar topics, as well as any
schedule restrictions of the presenter, are all taken
into consideration when sessions are scheduled for
the ASHA Convention. These factors, however, are
not always predictable, or capacity constraints of the
facility may limit the best room assignment, and as a
result, overcrowding occasionally occurs.
Networked session rooms give attendees

instant access to overflow rooms for popular
at-capacity sessions.
Weve worked with our audiovisual team over the
last few years to improve this process. If you arrive
at a session that is already at capacity, you may be
directed to the nearest overflow space where you
can view the presentation slides and hear the audio
in real-time. In some of our larger common area
overflow spaces, attendees will be provided earbuds
or headsets attached to a receiver so they may listen
to the presentation audio as the slides are shown on
the screen.

Please listen to the ASHA staff and student

volunteers when they direct you to the best
option for an overflowing session.
See pages 20-23 for floor plans that indicate the
locations of the various overflow rooms in the
convention center and the Hyatt Regency Denver.
Help us manage room capacity! Following these steps
can help us avoid overflow situations in session rooms.
Try to arrive at sessions early to secure your seat

when possible.
Dont save seats for late arrivals. Saving a seat for a
colleague for a couple minutes is acceptable, but if
a room is filling, be considerate of your peers and
allow someone to take the seat.
Over flow Rooms
ASHA staff and student volunteers monitor room

capacities carefully. ASHA is obligated to abide by
the guidelines established by the Fire Marshal in
Denver and overcrowded rooms may create unsafe
environments. If a session reaches capacity, attendees
should follow the instructions provided by ASHA staff,
Convention Center staff, student volunteers, or security
staff. Attendees may be instructed not to stand against
the walls or block the aisles or doors, or they may not
enter the room if it is too crowded.
Locations
Dont use seats for bags and other materials. Keep

your bags or other personal items on the floor in
front of you or on your lap.
You may be asked to raise your hand if youre next
to an open seat so that any standing attendees
may be directed to it.
Please be courteous and respectful to student
volunteers and staff when you are directed
elsewhere. Their job is to help enforce the safety
requirements established by the Fire Marshal.

REPORTING DEADLINE: DECEMBER 1, 2015, 11:59 P.M. ET

How to Submit
1. Keep a personal record of the
sessions you attend. You will
need each sessions 4-digit
session number.
2. No later than December 1, go to
www.asha.org/asha2015.
3. Select Enter CE Credit Online.
4. Log in to access the ASHA
Learning Center and follow the
instructions provided.
Everyone should follow this process
including students, clinical fellows,
speech-language pathology and
audiology assistants, and non-ASHA
members. It is the only way to officially
document your attendance and
participation at this event.
You do not need to join the ASHA CE
Registry to document your CE activities
using this process.
What sessions count for credit?

Any Convention session that has a 4-digit
session number carries CE credit. Ticketed
pre-Convention education events, such as
symposia and workshops, are considered
part of the Convention for continuing
education purposes, and you claim credit
for them in the same way you claim for
other Convention sessions.
If there is no 4-digit session number, the
session carries no CE credit. Activities that
do not carry CE credit include:
Technical Sessions: 30 minutes

Posters: 15 minutes
Pre-Convention events: Variable
depending on event time
To earn credit for posters, you must

visit them during the 90-minute period
indicated in the program when the
presenting authors are present to discuss
their work. Each poster counts for 15
minutes, even if you spend more time.
You may claim up to six posters in each
90-minute time block. You may claim
credit for posters you visit between
other education sessions, provided the
visit occurs during the 90-minute period
indicated in the program.
Exhibits
Committee, Board, and Council
meetings
Committee and Board auxiliary
presentations
NSSLHA Experience sessions and
NSSLHA poster presentations
The number of credits you earn is

determined by the duration of the
education sessions you attend. Your total
hours are converted to PDHs or ASHA
CEUs. Both PDHs and ASHA CEUs are
rounded down to the nearest half hour.
So, if you spend a total of 16 hours and 45
minutes in education sessions, you will
earn 16.5 PDHs or 1.65 ASHA CEUs.
1-hour Seminars: 1 hour
Awards Ceremony
If you are registered for the Convention,

you are eligible for CE credit. Students,
speech-language pathology and audiology
assistants, clinical fellows, and non-ASHA
members are all encouraged to apply for
credit. The type of credit you are eligible to
earn depends on your profession.
The maximum credit you can earn for

the Convention, including ticketed preConvention activities on Wednesday,
November 11, is 29.5 PDHs (2.95 ASHA
CEUs). The maximum, not counting
preConvention activities, is 25.5 PDHs

for the time you spend preparing your
presentation or poster.
What are ASHA CEUs, and who is eligible to

earnthem?
ASHA CEUs, widely recognized by state licensing boards and
other authorities and accepted as a demonstration of continued
professional development for maintenance of the ASHA CCC, are

of measure of continuing education activities. Anyone who is
registered for Convention is eligible to receive PDHs.
One PDH equals 1 hour of continuing education.
PDHs for the ASHA Convention count toward ASHA certification

Presenter Disclosure Statements

All Convention presenters, including those displaying posters,
mustat the beginning of the session or presentationmake
a disclosure statement. ASHAs disclosure requirements are
designed to promote transparency in the design, development,
and presentation of courses offered for ASHA CEUs, resulting in
Convention attendees having a more complete context in which to
evaluate presenters information.
All presenters must disclose relevant financial and nonfinancial
relationshipsor lack thereofto attendees in each session they
present. Presenters of Oral Sessions should begin the presentation
with a slide and verbal statement indicating their adherence to
the policy and disclosing any relevant financial and nonfinancial
relationships or lack thereof. Poster presenters should include
within the visual presentation a written statement indicating their
adherence to the policy and disclosing any relevant financial and
nonfinancial relationships or lack thereof.
Presenters must disclose whether they have any financial
or nonfinancial relationships, or lack of, related to their
presentation content.
If the session focuses on one product, device, or service, the
presenter(s) must disclose whether information about similar
products or services will be limited or not presented.
The disclosure requirement aligns ASHA with current practices in
other professions, particularly continuing medical education. The
ASHA Continuing Education Boards Requirement 3 (transparency
in course planning and delivery) for presenters indicates that:
Session content and presentation must focus on the science and/or
contemporary practice of audiology, speech-language pathology,
and speech, language, and hearing sciences, not on the sale or
promotion of products or services.
Consequently, presenters should not attempt to persuade

learners to favor, use, promote, or purchase a particular product,
equipment, device, or service.
If a session focuses on teaching the theoretical aspects of a
product or service and/or the details of a products operation,
presenters cannot sell or promote that product or service during
the session. Likewise, if presenters use products, equipment, or
devices in conducting a session, they cannot engage in marketing,
promoting, or selling during the session or in the space/place
where the session is held.
If presenters offer a session focused on one product or service, they
should disclose to the audience, before the session begins, that
they will present limited or no information about similar products
or services.
To report a presenter disclosure issue, visit one of the Information
Booths and ask for a comment form.
Some sessions may focus on one specific approach, product or
product line, tool, technique, service or model, and there may be
limited or no information provided about other similar approaches,
products, services, techniques, tools, or models. Authors of such
sessions have indicated this as part of their presenter disclosure
statements, all of which are viewable through the online Program
Planner, as noted above. These sessions are fully accepted
presentations of the 2015 ASHA Convention and offer full CE credit,
as determined by the session format, to both the attendees and
presenting authors.

Ready Room. Poster presenters are required to hang their poster
materials on their assigned poster boards at least 30 minutes

Oral Session Presenters
Posters must remain in place all day; at the end of each day, all

for the next day. Posters must be taken down within 30 minutes of
the conclusion of the last Poster Session of the day.
All oral presentations (non-poster) will be managed through our

Speaker Ready Room, and each presenter is required to check in
with the Speaker Ready Room at least 4 hours in advance of his or
her scheduled session. All presenters should plan their schedules
accordingly. If a session has multiple presenters using different
presentation files, each presenter must check in at the Speaker

equipment in session rooms. Occasional exceptions may be made
for software or hardware demonstrations that are directly related
to a presentation, but special arrangements must be made with the
Speaker Ready Room technicians. Please allow extra time to discuss
and coordinate your needs.
We recommend that you test your files while in the Speaker Ready
Room to make sure all fonts, images, and animations appear
as expected, that audio or video clips play properly, and that
everything runs smoothly. If the files do not work properly in the
Speaker Ready Room, they will not work in the session room either.
Speaker Ready Room technicians can work with you to make sure
your presentation is error free.
Once you have reviewed and approved your final presentation, it
will be transmitted to the computer in your scheduled presentation
room by the Speaker Ready Room technicians.
The Speaker Ready Room process ensures that presentations are
problem free and allows us to network session rooms so that the
presentation audio can be easily transmitted into overflow rooms
for at-capacity sessions. Your participation is critical to our success.
NOTE: Poster presenters are required to be available at their

respective poster boards only during the assigned time of
the presentation, though they are welcome to stay longer to
answer questions.
Poster Printing Service

THE AWARDS CEREMONY CELEBRATES the highest achievements and excellence

in the professions. Presentations will be made to recipients of the Honors of
the AssociationASHAs most prestigious award, which recognizes lifetime
achievementand to ASHA Fellows, whose contributions are the cornerstones of
the professions. Additional awards will be given to honor other members who have
also contributed to the professions and Association.
The Annie Glenn Award is also given each year at the Awards Ceremony. Annie
Glenn, wife of Senator John Glenn, is known nationwide for her advocacy for
those with communication disorders. The Annie recognizes an individual who
demonstrates Mrs. Glenns spirit by making a positive impact on those with
communication disorders. The first Annie was awarded in 1987 and has been given
annually since then, with 30 notable recipients spanning the years.
Please join us for this opportunity to celebrate with Annie Glenn

and thank her for her longtime support of ASHA and dedication
to helping those with communication disorders.
The Annie Glenn Award has become a tradition at the ASHA Convention and many
look forward to seeing Annie personally present this favorite
award. This year, in lieu of an award recipient, we will turn the
spotlight on Mrs. Glenn in recognition of her commitment to
ASHA. We will share highlights from Annies life, revisit past
Annie award presentations, and honor Mrs. Glenns special
relationship with the association. Mrs. Glenns family have been
invited and other surprises are in store for the evening.
Thank You, Annie Glenn!
Communication disorders are

not disorders that rest in a solitary soul.
They impact families.
Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters,
sisters and brothers and husbands and wives
struggle, and overcome,
in some way, by working together.
We come here every year that we can,
not just to give the award,
but to also say
THANK YOU
for all that you do to help others.
I know, personally, how your dedication,
patience, skills and passion
for communication, changes lives.
My life was changed.
Annie Glenn
Thank You, Annie Glenn!

Speakers who stutter know that speech is more nuanced than the fluent-disfluent
binary suggests. Unfortunately the field has not had an adequate model to explore
these subtleties. Our model shifts the focus from fluency to spontaneity. Data

case-based study examines how a monolingual English-speaking SLP works with
an interpreter to provide early intervention services to a preschool child with limited
English proficiency.

Previously, we reported that modulation of the auditory system during speech planning
is limited in stuttering adults. Here, we show that this limitation is part of a more

The FLUSTER model is a novel framework for organizing and advancing knowledge

Compensations to altered pitch feedback of prosodic contrasts were compared

between speakers with and without dysarthria secondary to cerebral palsy (CP).
Differences between speaking groups and the type of feedback (e.g., enhancing versus

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have speech motor control deficits, which may be
affected by loudness. Kinematic characteristics of the lower lip during habitual, loud,
and soft speech are reported for children with CP and their typically-developing peers.
Increasing loudness appears to improve articulatory precision and control in these
children.

One important predictor of expressive language outcome in children with ASD that
can be manipulated in therapy is earlier receptive language (comprehension). We
examined the relationship between comprehension at 24 months and later expressive
language in children with ASD. 1055 studies were screened. Early comprehension
predicted expressive outcomes r=.713.

This study investigated whether children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) have
impaired speech perception skills, as measured by syllable discrimination. Findings
showed that children with CAS had normal speech perception; however speech
perception was abnormal in children with comorbid CAS and language impairment,
speech delay, and language impairment.

We present an electrophysiological examination of speech and nonspeech sound

perception in children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Findings indicate that
brain responses to sound perception in CAS contrast with typical development, and
support re-evaluation of CAS as a disorder that is not limited to motor planning.

It is of great clinical importance to determine best-practice guidelines for resumption

of oral alimentation in post-extubation patients. A valid and reliable swallow screening
protocol administered at specific time periods post-extubation followed, when
necessary, by instrumental testing can determine aspiration risk, when to begin oral

Poster S essions
Poster presentations are an excellent mechanism to facilitate the
rapid communication of scientific ideas. Viewers visually guide
themselves through the basics of the study displayed on the poster
board, while the presenter focuses on explanation and clarification
of the key elements of the work and answers viewer questions. The
poster presentation format is less formal and more interactive than
an Oral Seminar, because it provides the opportunity for viewers
to engage in discussion and to have one-on-one interactions
with both fellow viewers and the presenter. Each day of the ASHA
Convention, hundreds of posters are on display covering topics
relevant to virtually all professional interests.
Meritorious Posters
Earning CEUs at Poster Presentations

Although posters may be viewed at any time throughout day, CEUs
may only be claimed for posters viewed during the 90-minute
published session time when the authors are required to be
present to discuss their work. Each poster counts for 15 minutes of
credit, and a maximum of six Poster Sessions may be claimed for
credit in each 90-minute time block. Credit may also be claimed
for posters viewed in between attending Oral Seminars, provided
the visit occurs during the 90-minute period when the author is
present. Presenters may claim 15 minutes of credit for their own
session, earning the same amount of credit as participants.
