Teaching With TalkBank Grand Rounds: A Tutorial on Implementing Evidence-Based Educational Tools for Adult Neurogenic Communication Disorders.

PURPOSE: The TalkBank platform, widely known for its research infrastructure, also offers educational resources and tools to enhance speech-language pathology education. In particular, the TalkBank Grand Rounds are freely available, online educational resources developed by experts that provide foundational information, multimedia illustrative cases, activities, and discussion questions to promote evidence-based learning and clinical decision-making. Currently available for adult neurogenic communication disorders, the Grand Rounds can be implemented in various learning environments, including classroom curricula, clinical instruction, and self-directed learning activities. METHOD: Following an expert panel of adult neurogenic discourse researchers and ensuing discussion at the 2026 International Cognitive Communication Disorders Conference, this tutorial was developed by a group of clinical researchers with expertise in discourse and experience teaching cognitive-communication disorders and developers within the TalkBank system. Situating Grand Rounds within a taxonomy of evidence-based teaching, this tutorial offers clinicians and educators a practical guide for effectively integrating and adapting these resources for their specific instructional or learning needs. RESULTS: Using robust case examples, this tutorial illustrates how TalkBank Grand Rounds can support clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, and intervention planning across populations with aphasia, traumatic brain injury, right-hemisphere brain damage, and dementia. CONCLUSION: This tutorial provides a brief history of TalkBank Grand Rounds and practical applications to ease the burden on educators and clinicians in creating and implementing instructional resources for adult neurogenic communication disorders.
