Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, and Dr. Tim Stockdale, SLPD, review ASHA’s Call for Peer Review of Proposed Changes to ASHA’s Speech-Language Pathology Certification Standards and explain what these revisions could mean for the field's future. They critically examine proposed changes such as removing undergraduate coursework, adding competencies at the graduate level, and adjusting clinical practicum guidelines. They raise concerns about reducing in-person experience, the risks of allowing fully remote mentorship and fully remote first-time jobs, and the potential consequences for new graduates entering the field.
Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the importance of maintaining rigorous training standards to ensure that SLPs are well-prepared for real-world practice. With real-world experience and strong opinions, they challenge assumptions and highlight what’s at stake for the next-generation clinicians.
