e-Supervision and the SLP-A

Question

Is it appropriate to use e‑supervision with an SLPA?

Answer

I think from a technology perspective it makes perfect sense.  Obviously the trick with SLPAs is that the guidelines and regulations are different state to state and even sometimes setting to setting within the state. So, I think you need to make sure that you're in compliance with those requirements. But from a technology perspective, I think it would serve the needs, keeping in mind the limitations in e-supervison that were discussed in the course, “Innovative Approaches for Mentoring and Supervising for Today’s Professionals:  Focus on Technology” presented by Carol Dudding and Charles Carlin. 

Carol Dudding is Director of Clinical Education and assistant professor at James Madison University.  Carol is the principle investigator and program director of an online Masters degree program in speech language pathology and a project exploring the use of telepractice in the public schools.

Charles Carlin is an assistant professor at The University of Akron in the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. Charles is the principle investigator of a project that is exploring the use of e-supervision in rural and hard-to-fill school districts in Ohio.
