Course Abstract

Clinical Supervision for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Audiologists is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE) course that presents research on best practices in supervision as required by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) in 2020.

We will take a brief look at different models of supervision including the Supervision, Questioning and Feedback (SQF) Model of Clinical Teaching, the Cognitive Apprenticeship Instructional Model, Geller’s Integrative Model, and Anderson’s Continuum of Supervision as we discuss the clinical educator’s / instructor’s role in the supervisory process and the skills required to supervise effectively.

Topics presented include the mandatory content required by ASHA Certification and will address deliberate practice, giving feedback, self-assessment, ethics, social media, the use of technology in supervision and telepractice, diversity awareness, and the accommodation of persons with disabilities.

The ASHA supervisory topic list is much too extensive to cover every aspect in detail. This course is an overview, which can lead the audiologist or speech-language pathologist to identify areas for deeper study.

Customer Testimonials

M.E. (SLP)

Very informative, with good details and practical applications.

R.W. (SLP)

I enjoyed all the resources embedded within the course.

C.F. (SLP)

Well-organized content.

O.H. (SLP)

This was a great course. Not only did it help me meet ASHA requirements, but I learned things that I have never even considered in my 30+ years in this field. Not only as a supervisor, but as a clinician, I will be especially careful moving forward to make sure that I am conducting clinical services in the same way as I expect my students to conduct their services.

S.P. (SLP)

I am retired at this time, but needed this course if I ever need to supervise someone. This was a really good course and full of information.

More Testimonials

T.M. (SLP)

Well written course. Provided information about the many aspects of supervision that are critical for a successful clinical experience.

V.K. (SLP)

Thanks for this great opportunity to learn more about supervision. The course was great and convenient. Best ever.

J.M. (SLP)

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this seminar.  It was well thought out and explained.  When reading this material, I could not help but think that some of this material should be included in an introductory course for first-year students.  Not all students have the emotional maturity level to take and constructively use criticism.  Also, the information on social media was outstanding.  Bravo!  You have enlightened a senior clinician with new information.

C.W. (SLP)

A great learning experience and it was a great match to my learning style.

A.G. (SLP)

The content and information for this course were thorough, relevant, and resourceful. I appreciate the suggested websites and literature to refer to for more in-depth knowledge of situations that potentially arise while supervising undergraduate and graduate students and clinical interns. I am very interested in focusing and specializing more in this area of speech-language pathology.  The continued education coursework provided through PDR assisted in the pursuance of my interest.

S.A. (SLP)

The topics/sections were clear/specifically labelled; while there was some overlap in the content of a few of them, there was specific focus/match on the stated topic. The suggestion to use the test as "study guide" facilitated learning. I appreciated the prompt 'customer support' in signing up/navigating the website.

D.O. (SLP)

I thought this was very informative as a CF Supervisor. I will be referring to the course PDF throughout the year. Thank you.

This was a great course for a first-time CF supervisor.  I really found the presentation of the different models of supervision as well as reminders to be culturally and gender sensitive.  I also appreciated the list of questions that the supervisor could ask the supervisee in order to help them reflect and strengthen their skills as a therapist.

Very straightforward. Appreciated the information. Thanks!

Very informative and well-researched. Great information.

A.W. (SLP)

Great course. Loved the ease of completing it at my own pace.

I liked learning about the culture bias and strategies to use, as well as a quiz to give supervisees.

This course was great to aid in preparation for supervision. It also helped a lot to think back to supervisors I had previously, and think through times and examples of when they did or didn't follow these concepts. Examples help to make the consequences (positive or negative) clear to someone who will soon become a supervisor.

The course was clearly laid out and provided detailed insight into the supervision process.
