When will schools know if speech implementers must be registered and meet the requirements for SLP assistants?
The Board of Healing Arts, Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (SLP/A) Commission has been reviewing information from DESE in an attempt to determine if speech implementers should be registered and meet the requirements for SLP assistants. As of January 2007, the Board and Commission asked the Attorney General’s office for an official opinion on the matter. Until that opinion is available, the issue remains unresolved.
