Should the fieldwork hours completed by speech-language pathology assistant students be performed at specific types of settings or distributed across specific age groups or disorders?
ASHA does not specify types of settings for fieldwork or distribution of hours, but recommends that the fieldwork provides speech-language pathology assistant students with a variety of experiences with individuals with communication disorders. The intent is for training programs to have flexibility in arranging their fieldwork, and to provide speech-language pathology assistant students with experience with both children and adults in more than one setting; however, ASHA policies do not suggest a specific distribution.
