This SIG 11 activity explored the increasing enrollment of students with disabilities in speech-language pathology and audiology graduate programs and examines the feasibility of accommodations in external clinical placements. While academic accommodations have been well-established, there is limited research on their implementation in clinical externships. The study surveyed 49 external clinical educators, revealing that only nine had supervised students with disabilities. Most educators learned about students' disabilities or accommodation needs after placements began, with attendance modifications, timing adjustments, and load/course variations being the most requested accommodations. The findings highlight that external clinical educators are generally willing to support students with disabilities, with coaching, assistive technology, and timing accommodations being the most feasible. However, challenges such as inconsistent disclosure processes, FERPA-related barriers, and physical limitations in clinical settings were noted. Despite these challenges, accommodations were reported to have minimal negative impact on student learning and service delivery, and educators expressed a strong willingness to mentor students with disabilities. The study emphasizes the need for standardized processes for disability disclosure and accommodation implementation, as well as increased training for clinical educators to better support students with disabilities. It concludes that fostering inclusivity in clinical education is essential for developing a diverse and representative workforce in communication sciences and disorders.

The consequences of hearing loss go beyond challenges in speech understanding. Individuals with hearing loss often report listening-related stress and cognitive-communication difficulties. These issues primarily arise from the increased cognitive demands required to perceive and decode speech in complex listening environments. This SIG 7 activity synthesizes findings from two research studies evaluating these listening stress and cognitive-communication difficulties. One study addresses the presence of greater cognitive-communication difficulties in individuals with mild TBI and the ther provides ways to use wearable sensors in evaluating listening-related stress. Lander and Roup (2024)’s work demonstrates that adults with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who also report hearing difficulties experience significantly greater cognitive-communication challenges and perform worse on speech-in-noise tasks compared to both healthy controls and those with mTBI alone. The findings point towards a compounded burden of cognitive and auditory strain that may not be evident in standard clinical assessments. This reinforces the need for patient-reported measures to better inform targeted intervention strategies. In parallel, Sarangi and Johnson (2024)’s study discuss the feasibility of using wearable sensors to objectively assess listening-related stress in healthy young adults with normal hearing. Their study reveals that difficult listening conditions, characterized by low signal-to-noise ratios, unpredictable sentences, and negative feedback (conditions often associated with increased listening stress among individuals with mTBI and/or hearing loss), lead to measurable changes in heart rate and respiration, indicating increased stress. However, low or lack of agreement between wearable and lab-grade sensors highlights the importance of methodological rigor in capturing physiological markers of listening effort. Together, these studies converge on the key insight that hearing loss can present with complex communication-related difficulties. For individuals with auditory or neurological vulnerabilities, such as mTBI r subclinical hearing difficulties, a compounded listening load may exacerbate fatigue, anxiety, and social withdrawal. Therefore, advancing bothsubjective screening tools and real-time physiological monitoring, especially with wearable technologies, holds promise for developing more holistic, personalized approaches to auditory rehabilitation and cognitive-communication support.
