To get the most benefit from this tutorial, run it while interacting with the Adobe Acrobat Pro software. It would be beneficial to have relevant personal documents available in a digital format so they can be transferred to the e-Portfolio

*This presentation has been designed to instruct the Speech Pathology & Audiology undergraduate student, and the Communication Disorders graduate student, on how to set up an Adobe Acrobat Pro e-Portfolio to demonstrate the Knowledge and Skills Acquisition (KASA) required by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) for certification as a speech-language pathologist.

*“The Knowledge and Skills Acquisition (KASA) is a document that summarizes a student’s acquisition of the knowledge and skills delineated in the Standards for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (SCCC). Entries are made only upon acquisition of the knowledge or skill; thus the KASA is not an evaluation, but only a record that a particular knowledge or skill has been acquired” (ASHA, 2009)

*Provides a format for a student to demonstrate the knowledge and skills acquired by providing digital evidence of their learning process

*Delivers an innovative method to access student learning outcomes, required by the American Speech Hearing Association (ASHA), as regards to the Knowledge and Skills Acquisition (KASA) requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC)

*Offers a way to showcase projects, digital media, and documentation
