ANNOUNCING A NEW
DEGREE PROGRAM AT
AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE
(pending California Chancellor’s Office approval)
Speech and Language Pathology Assistant
Are you interested in working with individuals who experience
communication difficulties? Introduction
to Communication Disorders will be
offered during the fall semester at American River College in Sacramento. This
first course will become part of a new degree program at the college.
What do Speech-Language Pathologists Assistants (SLPAs) Do?
Under the supervision of a licensed and ASHA certified Speech Language
Pathologist, the SLPA works with both adults and children with communication
disorders to help improve their speech and language skills. This might include
conducting speech and language screenings, helping to implement and/or continue
ongoing therapy activities as appropriate to treatment plans developed by the
speech-language pathologist, as well as other duties.
Why are SLPAs Needed?
Communication disorders are the nation’s leading handicapping condition,
affecting about one-tenth of the population. These disorders include childhood
speech and language impairments, voice problems, stuttering, language disabilities
caused by brain injury and communication difficulties resulting from hearing
impairments. Communication disorders isolate people from their friends, family
and the community. Such disorders might also limit job and educational
opportunities. Under the guidance of a speech-language pathologist, SLPAs can
help these people improve their ability to speak, understand and interact with
others.
Where will SLPAs work?
SLPAs are an important part of service delivery to individuals who experience
communication difficulties. SLPAs work for public agencies as well as in private
practice and rehabilitation clinics. Public schools, hospitals and rehabilitation
facilities are major employers of these individuals.
