| Abstract: | The purpose of the study was to establish whether clinical supervisors tend to agree or disagree in their evaluations of an individual clinical session, depending on whether or not they are familiar with the supemisee. Twelve supervisors with similar training and experience, all holding certificationby the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, were divided equally among three training institutions in three states. The supervisors independently evaluated the same videotaped therapy session with two evaluation forms. The supervisors in the three settines differed in their ratines of the session. with those who were familiar with the supervisee giving significantly more favorable evaluations. Implications for speech-language phathol- ogy supervision and research are discussed. |
