Clinical Supervision: Supporting SLP Graduate Students and Clinical Fellows - Ellen Reuler, M.A., CCC-SLP

Clinical education and supervision of graduate students in the field of speech-language pathology is an integral part of every university graduate program. Supervisors from the community offer guidance and support in helping graduate students to become competent professionals. Clinical Fellow Mentors help new SLPs transition from being a graduate student to an independent professional. However, most clinical supervisors and CF mentors have had little or no education in the area of clinical supervision. Supervision has been recognized by ASHA as a distinct area of professional practice with its own set of knowledge and skills. This workshop will provide support and information for SLPs in the community who are currently supervising students or who are considering supervising students.
