Concern for people’s “best interests” and burdening the suffering may be unethical and patronizing. People experiencing life‐limiting disease have a right to contribute to the evidence base. We can and should support this, albeit with due care.

Presenters(s): Ashley Harkrider, Matt Wilson, Kristin King Abstract: This session is developed by, and presenters invited by SIG 6: Hearing and Hearing Disorders: Research and Diagnostics. Auditory stimuli with certain visual distracters evoke poorer neurophysiological responses in contact sport athletes (regardless of history of concussion) versus non‐contact sport athletes, even when behavioral data are similar. These neurophysiological responses are associated with attention and processing speed. Standard behavioral tests may not be effective measures of brain damage.

Presenters(s): Kathleen Scaler Scott, Karole Howland, Diane Games, Kim Krieger, Diane Paul, Lourdes Ramos‐Heinrichs, Nina Reeves, Laura Young‐Campbell Abstract: Regular assessment of oral reading fluency has become common practice in most school systems. Misinterpretation of these assessments can cause problems for children with speech disorders that may impact reading fluency, including stuttering and childhood apraxia of speech. This panel discussion will address strategies for overcoming these problems through collaboration.
