Tools for Skeptical Thinking: Evaluating Science and Pseudoscience (2017)

Presented By Gregory Lof, PhD, CCC-SLP, Fellow American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (FASHA)

Clinicians frequently encounter new therapy procedures or products that appear to be more effective than the ones currently used. Often these are heavily marketed, and the promoters promise remarkable successes. But how can you determine if these procedures are actually based on science, or if they are really a form of pseudoscience? How can you remain appropriately skeptical, so you don’t fall for quackery and accept things without question? This presentation will help participants learn how to evaluate claims being made about products and procedures so that we select only methods that are evidence-based and science-based.
