Evidence-Based Practice
This page provides tools and online resources on evidence-based practice in speech-language pathology (and communication sciences and disorders).
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a broad concept referring to the incorporation of valid and relevant external evidence during the decision making process.
In the health sciences, such evidence is most commonly found in high-quality research studies that can be applied to the specific patient or population being considered.
