I feel that licensure is needed for SLPAs. The bachelor's degree term is too broad...any field of study bachelors degree or only speech language bachelor degrees? The supervising SLP will still be responsible for planning the therapy sessions, supervising and being "responsible" for the scope of practice" that the SLPAs deliver. Licensure is necessary to protect the integrity of the services we provide.
