1. CLINICAL DATA STANDARDS: AN EXTENSION FROM THE PARAMETERS OF CARE DOCUMENTATION
The ACPA Database Committee is currently attempting to address members' concerns over the lack of agreed data collection targets for clinical care. The committee has developed a data standards framework based upon the ACPA's Parameters of Care documentation and will be seeking members' input to identify these data standards. This presentation will allow members to gain an understanding of this process so that they will be better informed about how to participate within their areas of expertise. (V, L)

3. CHALLENGING CASE STUDIES IN VELOPHARYNGEAL MANANGEMENT

ASHA DIVISION 5 - Speech Science and Orofacial Disorders will present challenging VPD cases from several teams in both video and audio format. Each presentation will provide a detailed history, identify options for treatment strategies, consider “best practices”, and specify medical/speech/ family concerns for all treatment options. Attendees will add to the discussion, decision making and offer alternative treatment strategies. (I, P)
