Description:
In this course, the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) will understand the guidelines that pertain to Speech Language Pathology Assistants (SLPAs) according to the state in which they reside. Along with this, the SLP will understand how to implement the supervisory skills taught in this course, which are necessary to work with a SLPA in the school and/or medical setting.
In support of this, ASHA’s Scope and Practice document states the minimum qualification for a SLP who will supervise a SLPA should include the completion of an academic course or at least 10 hours of continuing education credits in the area of supervision, completed prior to or concurrent with the first SLPA supervision experience.
To support your learning, the course includes a variety of knowledge checks and quizzes designed to help you assess your understanding and reinforce key concepts as you go.
