Speech-Language Pathology Assistant Program Overview
Graduates of the SLPA program will serve as support personnel to perform tasks prescribed, directed, and supervised by certified speech-language pathologists. SLPAs will most often work in educational settings, and only under the supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Independent practice is not a goal of this program. This document contains an overview of the components and courses within this program.
