When SLPA students are placed in fieldwork settings, can they be supervised by more than one SLP?
Yes. ASHA recommends that each SLP supervising the student complete a technical proficiency or skills competency checklist (or whatever specific format your institution uses for fieldwork assessments) for that particular student. 5. Should the supervisor of an SLPA student in an external fieldwork placement hold a current Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from ASHA, or can he/she hold state licensure only? ASHA suggests that an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist supervise the first 100 clock hours of fieldwork defined in ASHA guidelines for each SLPA student. Any fieldwork hours completed that are above 100 clock hours may be under the supervision of a qualified speech-language pathologist who is either state-licensed or ASHA-certified.
