This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive resource for speech-language
pathologists who may already serve as expert witnesses, for those wanting to
broaden their practice to include expert witnessing and for those who may find
themselves involved in a dispute or due process hearing. Complex concepts are
explained through numerous case studies as examples of disputes in all work settings.
Brenda Chafin Seal and Lissa Power-deFur draw on their many years of experience
as speech-language pathologists and as expert witnesses to help you understand
all of the following:
* the roles and responsibilities of expert and fact witnesses
* the ethical issues involved in both agreeing to serve as a witness and in serving
as a witness
* preliminary and contractual tasks required of expert witnesses
* legal terminology and procedures used across the nation and in different states
* the legal framework and background for different types of disputes
* the importance of documentation, including clear communication, throughout
the process
* business considerations, including conflicts of interest as well as financial issues,
and employment issues
* how following best practice can avoid or mitigate litigation
* how reflection and assessment can improve expert witnessing under the scope
of practice
Speech-language pathologists are uniquely positioned to offer expertise
in communication and swallowing disorders disputes and to disambiguate
confusion in complex cases. This book will give you the insights you need as
a confident and knowledgeable witness to represent yourself, your client, and
your profession in malpractice, health care disputes, privacy and confidentiality
breaches, abuse, child custody, fraud, special education conflicts, criminal
cases, civil rights claims, and more.
