Below are recommendations for certified SLPs from the 2006-07 Ad Hoc Committee on the Appropriate Use of SLPAs of the SLP/SLS Assembly of ASHA's Legislative Council:

  • Inform yourself regarding ASHA policy documents and licensure regulations in your state pertaining to the use of support personnel.
  • Advocate for the appropriate use of assistants in your workplace, e.g., to administrators and others in leadership roles in your organization.
  • Join ASHA's Special Interest Division 11, Administration and Supervision and/or a regional group of clinical educators.
  • Enroll in workshops on supervision at the state, regional, and national levels.
