I am the Director of Communication Services at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center. I am fully in support of the use of SLP-As, but my thoughts on regulations may be considered stringent:
Naturally an SLP-A should not be involved with assessments or any dysphagia therapy. I personally would want to know an exact percentage of supervision with each client that would need to occur, and feel a log/documentation should be kept and submitted in compliance with that regulatory standard.
Thank—you!
