Legacy: 100 Years of Advancing Communication Sciences

“Back then, we had no texts, no tools. We recorded our clients’ speech on wax phonograph cylinders. Our sound waves were scratched on a smoked kymograph drum. Using tuning forks of different frequencies, we calibrated hearing loss by marks on the office carpet. We had no standardized tests.”

“Recognizing clinical education and supervision as a distinct area of practice has elevated its importance in the professions, ensuring future clinicians receive high-quality mentorship and training. This fosters evidence-based supervisory practices and promotes excellence in clinical education, enhancing the standard of care for clients. It also solidifies the critical role of supervisors as educators and leaders in shaping the next generation of practitioners.”
