Can an institution establish a speech-language pathology assistant training program in a state that prohibits the use of speech-language pathology assistants?
Such decisions are under the purview of state agencies that have degree-granting authority and that regulate the professions. Consult with the appropriate state entity that performs such oversight to determine if starting such a program is permissible under postsecondary requirements in place and whether the program would be at variance with state law and regulations for the profession.
