Does the state of Minnesota hire speech-language pathologist assistants?
There is not an accredited program in SLP assistance, so presently the answer is no. Paraprofessionals are hired and trained in Minneapolis to assist SLPs with their caseloads. The use of these paraprofessionals lies in articulation drill and practice. I was wondering if, in Minnesota, CEUs are all due on a specific date (and when that date is) or if CEU due dates are staggered based on when therapists get their licenses. In the public schools, after a probationary two years, your license then becomes good for five years. All may or may not be due on July 1 in the year you were licensed. Minnesota Department of Education licensure now requires that SLPs simply show their ASHA membership for each of the five years as well as the four additional requirements: reading, mental health, diversity, and one other. If you have Minnesota Department of Health licensure, those renewal dates are every two years and you need to show just the CEUs attained during the two-year period between renewals.
