Justification and Assessment
Next
  • What is the rationale for adding this course?*
    This course is being added as an optional course for students admitted to the post-baccalaureate certificate program in speech-language pathology. Completion of this course satisfies requirements for a newly approved Georgia PSC rule for the creation of a Speech Language Associate Program. This will provide a pathway for students who complete the post-baccalaureate certificate to pursue a career as a speech language associate working in support of a certified speech language pathologist in the school system.
  • Student Learning Outcomes*

Acquire direct clinical experience while providing intervention and screenings under the supervision of a certified speech-language pathologist, in either small group, individual, or inclusion settings (ASHA Standard V-C, V-E, V-F) 2. Implement intervention plans by selecting or developing appropriate materials and instrumentation for intervention. (ASHA Standard IV-F, V-B) 3. Document the progress of clients using quantitative and/or qualitative data. (ASHA Standard V-B) 4. Demonstrate ability to apply current evidence-based principles and techniques to clinical practice.

Recognize the needs, values, preferred mode of communication, and cultural/linguistic background of the client/patient, family, caregivers, and relevant others and modify assessment and intervention accordingly. (ASHA Standard V-B, IV-C, IV-G). 6. Demonstrate oral and written communication skills sufficient to achieve effective clinical and professional interaction with persons receiving services and relevant others, including but not limited to, supervisors, clinical staff, parents/caregivers, and cohort members (ASHA Standard V-A, V-B). 7.

  • Will this course have special fees or tuition required?*
    If yes, what will the fee be?*
    $100 flat fee (not per credit hour)
    $100 flat fee (not per credit hour)
  • Fee Justification
    This fee covers the Clinician's related expenditures for faculty travel to the Clinical sites, printing course materials, seminars and other items associated with the oversight and instruction of the clinical intern. The Internship phase of the program is more intense, requiring more observation and guidance and requires the supervisor to travel to multiple sites, as there is typically only one clinician assigned to a clinical site. If fee is not approved, there is no revenue to cover expenses for supervision and materials as this department has no state or e-tuition funding. Without the fee, the program would not meet supervision requirements by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) for the Speech-Language Associate certification.
