Teaching · Speech & Language

What you hand to your assistant, and the supervision behind it.

Mark the tasks you delegated this period, confirm nothing reserved for the SLP was handed over, and log each observation and record review. The summary turns the minutes into supervision percentages against your state’s minimums and tells you how many more minutes you need.

Drawn for this page. Direct supervision means the SLP is there, watching the assistant work with a student, and gives feedback the same day.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with a code for the assistant and the period.
  2. Enter your state’s minimum total and direct supervision percentages.
  3. Mark the tasks delegated, and check none of the SLP’s own tasks were handed over.
  4. Log each direct observation and indirect review with minutes and feedback.
  5. Enter the assistant’s hours and read the percentages; schedule more observation if you are short.

What the record is for

Scope of an assistant

A speech-language pathology assistant carries out treatment the SLP has planned, collects data, prepares materials and supports documentation. The SLP keeps the clinical decisions: evaluation and interpreting results, writing and changing goals and plans, signing formal documents, dismissal and discussing diagnosis with families. ASHA’s scope of practice for assistants describes both lists.

Supervision is measured

ASHA recommends more supervision, including direct observation, in an assistant’s first 90 workdays, and less once the assistant is established. States set the binding amounts, which vary, so this record asks you to enter them. The percentages are computed from your minutes and the assistant’s hours.

Two titles, one record

The catalog listed a delegated activity checklist and a supervised session review log. Delegation and supervision are one responsibility, so one page holds both. Records use codes, never names, and stay in this browser.
