Review by: Member on December 1, 2012
Ethics is so important yet seems to be trumped, in most settings, by employer demands! I think employers of SLPs should have to take these courses in order to hire SLPs.

Review by: Member on November 29, 2012
She is an excellent speaker. This information seemed to roll right off her tongue. She was very well versed.
Review by: Member on November 27, 2012
It was much more than the typical, droll, repetitive excursis on the code of ethics. It was a discussion that related ethical standards to very real everyday problems. It seemed like the speaker was less concerned with "obey these rules" and more interested in encouraging her listeners to THINK. I admire that greatly!

First of all, the presenter was an undergraduate instructor of mine at Ole Miss. Second, the course was a good review of information that we should keep in the front of our minds. And lastly, the course provided pointers on how to stand up for ethics against our employers.
