ASHA Learning Pass

Busy SLPs need solutions that support quality care within the time and resources available to them every day. Collaboration with speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs) can maintain the integrity of services and continuity of care for patients, clients, and students and allow the SLP to practice at “the top of their license/certification.” However, for many SLPs, the thought of supervising an assistant comes with questions and concerns. This webinar will provide a framework for supervision and a discussion on how to ensure it’s a collaborative relationship for all stakeholders.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• Determine assistants’ role in providing services to diverse populations
• Establish meaningful relationships with SLPAs in a variety of settings
• Distinguish between certification and licensure requirements for supervision of SLPAs

Course Reviews

"I enjoyed learning about how to supervise SLPAs - especially like the emphasis on the fact that we can move to a more collaborative model throughout the relationship & will seek to do that in my supervisory relationships in the future."

"This course was really amazing. I am in private practice and plan to grow my business. I hope to use this information as I consider hiring SLPAs to work with me. I plan to look at my state requirements to see what is needed and read up on the roles and responsibilities of an SLPA."
