2014 SLP Standards: Key Revisions Most program process language has been removed Sequencing of courses, program documentation, etc. More focus on outcomes Reduced procedural language (e.g., how to apply) Focused on what applicants should look like rather than how they were prepared Some exceptions to this (e.g.,Standard IV-A: biological sciences, physical sciences, statistics, social/behavioral sciences) 7

2014 SLP Standards Recurring Questions Is physics or chemistry required? What about statistics? Std. IV-A: The applicant must have demonstrated knowledge of the biological sciences, physical sciences, statistics, and the social/behavioral sciences. Implementation: Biological sciences should emphasize content area related to human or animal sciences Physical sciences should include physics or chemistry Social/behavioral sciences should include psychology, sociology, anthropology, or public health A stand-alone course in statistics is required not research methodology NOTE: Where the word should appears, CFCC is suggesting optimal choices, but leaving final decisions in the hands of the programs 8

Guidance for STUDENTS Question: What should I take for biological sciences or social/ behavioral sciences? Answer: Whatever is required for your undergraduate degree that will satisfy the requirements at the university where you plan to obtain your graduate degree 9

Guidance Question: Must I take physics or chemistry? NO - If you are assured acceptance into a program that does not require physics or chemistry for physical sciences YES - If you are considering application to a program that does require either physics or chemistry Question: Must I take a statistics* course? NO - If you are eligible to apply for certification before August 31, 2014 YES - If you are not eligible to apply for certification before August 31, 2014 * NOTE: Statistics course cannot be a Methodology course 10

Guidance What is meant by direct supervision in real time? Supervision should be considered to have happened in real time if it occurred at the actual time during which a process or event occurs. The two events are synchronous/ simultaneous. real time and onsite are separate constructs 11

Guidance What is meant by direct client contact? Only direct contact with the client or the client's family in assessment, intervention, and/or counseling can be counted toward practicum Paperwork, programming, meetings, preparation, reporting are excluded 12

Deadlines September 1, 2013 - ASHA began accepting applications under the new 2014 Standards August 31, 2014 Last day for applicants to apply under 2005 Standards 13

Deadlines (contd) Students who graduate from May - August 2014 may apply under 2005 standards if they submit their application before August 31, 2014; otherwise, will have to apply under 2014 Standards If individuals do not apply until after the Clinical Fellowship, will have to apply under the 2014 Standards 14
