The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) established the Preferred Practice Patterns for the Profession of Speech-Language Pathology to enhance the quality of professional services. These statements were developed as a guide for ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists and as an educational tool for other professionals, members of the general public, consumers, administrators, regulators, and third-party payers. The practice patterns apply across all settings in which the procedure is performed and are to be used with sensitivity to and knowledge of cultural and linguistic differences and the individual preferences and needs of clients/patients and their families. In publishing these statements, ASHA does not intend to exclude members of other professions or related fields from rendering services within their scope of practice for which they are competent by virtue of education and training.
The Preferred Practice Patterns provide an informational base to promote delivery of quality patient/client care. They are sufficiently flexible to permit both innovation and acceptable practice variation, yet sufficiently definitive to guide practitioners in decision making for appropriate clinical outcomes. They further provide a focus for professional preparation, continuing education, and research activities. However, the Preferred Practice Patterns are neither a yardstick to measure acceptable conduct nor a set of aspirational principles. Rather, they reflect the normally anticipated professional response to a particular set of circumstances. There may be legitimate reasons for departing from the practice patterns. The ultimate judgment regarding the appropriateness of any given procedure is made by the speech-language pathologist in light of individual circumstances often based on collaborative decision making with the client/patient, family/caregivers, and other professionals. Practitioners, however, need to be aware of the Preferred Practice Patterns, carefully considering the justifications for alternative practices.
These generic and universally applicable practice patterns were developed to be consistent with the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO, 2001) as well as the framework of the Scope of Practice for Speech-Language Pathology (ASHA, 2001). For each procedure, the Preferred Practice Patterns for the Profession of Speech-Language Pathology specify the professionals who perform the procedure, expected outcome(s), clinical indications for the procedure, clinical processes, setting and equipment specifications, safety and health precautions, and documentation. Adherence, however, to the Preferred Practice Patterns for the Profession of Speech-Language Pathology does not guarantee a desired outcome.
