ASHA Certification and State Licensure

• Ensure your ASHA certification and state licensure are current and will be current during the entire time your student will be with you.
• Ensure you meet ASHA鈥檚 2020 standards for supervision, as listed in V-E, 鈥淪upervision of students must be provided by a clinical educator who holds ASHA certification in the appropriate profession and who, after earning the CCC-A or CCC-SLP, has completed (1) a minimum of 9 months of full-time clinical experience (or its part-time equivalent), and (2) a minimum of 2 hours of professional development in clinical instruction/supervision.鈥�  This must be met for all supervisors, including those working with students completing hearing screenings in the community, as well as those completing undergraduate guided observations.
• If you haven鈥檛 completed a one-time professional development in supervision, we are happy to offer a complementary one on the supervisory process.   Please reach out to your clinical liaison for more information.
• Read

Get familiar with the expectations and grading of your student

• The web-based program Calipso is used for grading and clock hour approval.   You will need to through 妖姬直播 State University. 
• All supervisors, please be  sure to check the Calipso tab on the home page for information and instructions for grading and clockhour approval.
• The different types of external placements have different tabs on the home page (Extern, Student Teaching, and Enrichment). If you鈥檙e unsure which type of placement your student is enrolled in, ask your student.  Please review the information under the appropriate tab to learn more about expectations and grading.

Connect with your student

• Your student has been instructed to contact you, and please expect their email from a 妖姬直播 State address. If you haven鈥檛 received it yet, please check your spam/junk mail.  You are always welcome to reach out to your student as well. 
• Suggested information to share with your student might include:
  • Daily hours, including expectations for holidays and supervisor vacations
  • Dress code
  • Any onboarding requirements for your site, such as background checks, immunizations, special trainings, badges/name tags, etc
  • Any recommended materials they should review prior to the start date related to client population seen at your site
  • Directions, parking, information related lunch/breaks
• Suggested information to discuss with your student prior to and at the beginning of the placement
  • Mutual expectations and learning objectives, including workload, supervision style, and goals for the semester
  • Have a discussion about the student鈥檚 hours, areas of strengths/needs, and prior experience

Do my students need a specific amount of hours?

While we do need to keep an eye on hours in general, especially in their last semester, we always stress to the students that they should be focusing on experiences to help prepare them after graduation and not on clockhours.  There鈥檚 so much to be learned, like scheduling or billing, that doesn鈥檛 involve clockhours at all.  Likewise, if a student obtains the 375 hours they need for ASHA certification, they are still expected to continue the learning process and work their established schedule until the end of the semester.

I work on a holiday when the university is closed.  Does my student still need to come?

Yes!  Your student is to follow your schedule, not the university鈥檚, even when it involves emergency closings, like a snow day.

Do I have to do a midterm even if the student is just with me for half a semester?

We do understand the desire to keep paperwork to a minimum!  As part of the supervisory process, it鈥檚 important to give your student that necessary feedback halfway through. If you talk to your liaison, they can share with you information on how to 鈥渄uplicate鈥� your midterm, allowing you to edit it for your final performance evaluation.  This will be a time saver at the end of the semester.  You can also find those instructions in our section on Calipso.

Can students bring university tests to evaluate some of the clients I have on caseload?

Students have access to a limited amount of diagnostic tests in our Performing Arts Library that they can check out and bring to external sites.  All other materials in our clinic are accessible to students to reference on-campus only, but they are encouraged to use them to review test manuals, spark ideas for their own lesson plans, or make educational use copies of workbook materials. 

I have multiple students. Are they allowed to co-treat?

In most cases, now that the pandemic is over, students co-treating are required to split minutes. That being said, if multiple students are actively involved the entire time, based on your clinical judgment, they are both permitted to count the entire time.

I am sick/on vacation/have a planned leave. Does the student need to come in anyhow?

While you can ultimately determine what is most appropriate for your student and facility, some suggestions we have include:

• Have your student work with another SLP that meets ASHA鈥檚 supervisory requirements.
• Have your student shadow and learn from other disciplines to expand their knowledge of the setting.
• Oftentimes, it鈥檚 so busy at the placement that students don鈥檛 always have the luxury to explore therapy materials or work on chart review skills (even with clients no longer on caseload), so this is a great opportunity to come in and practice.   
• Get caught up on documentation or work ahead with lesson plans/reports

Whatever ultimately works best, please communicate any schedule alterations with your liaison.

What can count as clockhours?

Students can count time when they鈥檙e with a client or caregiver, much in the same we would bill insurance.   They cannot count documentation time unless it鈥檚 at point of service and they鈥檙e doing client education on goals and progress.   If students are in a care meeting, they can count the time they are actively discussing the client but not the time they are passively listening.  Clients or caregivers must be present in real-time, so a phone call discussion can count for clockhours, but not an email.

ASHA鈥檚 2020 standard V-C states: Only direct contact (e.g., the individual receiving services must be present) with the individual or the individual鈥檚 family in assessment, intervention, and/or counseling can be counted toward practicum. When counting clinical practicum hours for purposes of ASHA certification, only the actual time spent in sessions can be counted, and the time spent cannot be rounded up to the nearest 15-minute interval.

How much supervision am I required to provide?

Student supervision is required for a minimum of 25% of the total time with the client/patient across the treatment period.   It is not required for 25% of each session.   In other words, if the student is with a patient for five days and a total of 100 minutes, you will need to supervise them for at least 25% of that total time (100 min).  That being said, the supervision amount can be up to 100% based on the student's experience and knowledge.   Anytime your student is with a client/patient, a licensed SLP must be onsite in the facility and available for consultation, even if direct supervision is not occurring. 

ASHA's 2020 standard V-E states: The amount of direct supervision must be commensurate with the student鈥檚 knowledge, skills, and experience; must not be less than 25% of the student鈥檚 total contact with each client/patient; and must take place periodically throughout the practicum. Supervision must be sufficient to ensure the welfare of the individual receiving services.

ASHA also states that Direct supervision must be in real time. A clinical educator must be available and on site to consult with a student who is providing clinical services to the clinical educator鈥檚 client. Supervision of clinical practicum is intended to provide guidance and feedback and to facilitate the student鈥檚 acquisition of essential clinical skills.

Important Dates to follow (unless other arrangements are made through your liaison):

These students may require more guidance and support initially but are expected to increase their level of independence and demonstrate competency in all aspects of the setting by the end of the placement. 

Enrichment students will be taking classes concurrently with their placement. The following courses may have been completed or will be in process during their placement.  Please discuss with your student which courses they have completed or are taking, with the expectation that they should be able to pull from their coursework to assist them during their time at the placement.

• Normal Language Processes
• Disorders of Articulation and Phonology
• Language Assessment and Intervention in Early Childhood
• Aphasia
• Research Methods in Speech-Language Pathology
• Language Assessment and Intervention with School-Age Populations
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Pediatric Medical Issues
• Voice Disorders
• Advanced Speech and Voice Science
• Adult Dysphagia
• Communication Modalities and Assistive Technology
• Motor Speech Disorders in Children and Adults
• Acquired Cognitive Communicative Impairments
• Fluency Disorders

In addition, all enrichment students have completed Clinical Colloquium, where they received instructions on file reviews, assessments,  lesson plans, SOAPs, clinical writing, report writing, counseling, goal writing, teaching, teletherapy assessments/treatment, the supervisory process, ethics, HIPAA, FERPA, universal and standard precautions, and evidence-based practice.

Please visit the 妖姬直播 State University Resources section for a list of forms and resources provided to your student to be utilized at their placement.

 You will be assigned a university liaison whose role is to support you and the student in this process. Your liaison will contact you regarding midterm check-ins and further additional details.  In order to maintain contact, each student is required to complete biweekly reflection forms discussing experiences, goals, and any concerns and submit them to their liaison. 
    
If there are any concerns at any time, let us know sooner rather than later so your liaison can meet with you and the student and provide support.

Grading Enrichment Students

Enrichment students will receive a midterm and a final performance evaluation through a web based program, Calipso, by scoring skills on a scale of 1-5.   A student receiving a score of 3, 4, or 5 on a skill indicates that basic competency is met.  Scores of 1 or 2 indicate that basic competency is not yet met, and the student will need to remediate in that area before graduating.  If a student is performing up to expectations but there has been a lack of opportunity in a particular area for the student, they should be scored based on their demonstrated skills and not penalized due to lack of opportunity.  Remember that all students will likely require some level of support, given that they are still in training.  All individual scores are averaged together to determine the final grade.  Graduate students are required to receive a minimum of a B to pass. Please see our Calipso Information page and FAQs for further details on grading students.

At 妖姬直播 State University we use CALIPSO (Clinical Assessment of Learning Inventory of Performance Streamlined Office Operations), a web-based a program that manages graduate student clinical records.  All supervisors must register for Calipso with 妖姬直播 State, even if they have an account through another university or used it as a student themselves.

If you have not yet registered for Calipso, please contact  Erin Kolonich, William Bolden or Connie Kunkle with a copy of your ASHA number to initiate the process.   You will then receive an auto generated email from Calipso with a registration link and a temporary PIN.

You can read our instructions on how to approve clockhours, and complete midterm/final performance evaluations.

Grading Description and Grading Scales

Student skills are scored s on a scale of 1-5.   A student receiving a score of 3, 4 or 5 on a skill indicates that basic competency is met.  Scores of 1 or 2 indicate that basic competency is not yet met, and the student will need to remediate in that area before graduating.

Please note a 5 does not indicate a fully skilled therapist, but just that they鈥檙e independent with that skill 91% of the time.
A score of 4 indicates that student is meeting minimal competency and demonstrates the skill 76-90% of the time.
A score of 3 indicates the student is meeting minimal competency and demonstrates the skill 51-75% of the time.
A score of 2 indicates that the student is not meeting minimal competency, and demonstrates the skill less than 50% of the time.
If a student is performing up to expectations but there has been a lack of opportunity in a particular area for the student, they should be scored based on their demonstrated skills and not penalized due to lack of opportunity.  Remember, that all students will likely require some level of support, given that they are still in training.   
If you have any questions or concerns about a student meeting competency (e.g. scores below a 3), please immediately contact your liaison for assistance. 
 

Description of Clinical Rating Scales for Grading Purposes:

1 Not evident: Skill not evident most of the time. Student requires direct instruction to modify behavior
and is unaware of need to change. Supervisor must model behavior and implement the skill required for
client to receive optimal care. Supervisor provides numerous instructions and frequent modeling. Student
needs consistent guidance. (skill is present <25% of the time).

2 Inconsistent: Skill may be emerging but is inconsistent or inadequate given the student鈥檚 level of training
and experience. Student may show awareness of need to change behavior. Supervisor provides instructions
and support for all aspects of case management and services. Student needs more than an average amount
of guidance. (skill is present < 50% of the time).

3 Acceptable: Skill is present and needs further development, refinement, or consistency. Student is aware
of need to modify behavior, but does not do this independently. Student may not have had enough
exposure or opportunity to demonstrate skill. Supervisor provides on-going monitoring and feedback;
focuses on increasing student鈥檚 critical thinking on how/when to improve skill. Student needs an average
amount of guidance. (skill is present 51-75% of the time).

4 Satisfactory: Skill is developed/implemented most of the time and needs continued refinement or
consistency. Student is aware and can modify behavior in-session, and can self-evaluate. Problem-solving
is independent. Student needs less than an average amount of guidance. Supervisor acts as a
collaborator to plan and suggest possible alternatives. (skill is present 76-90% of the time).

5 Consistent: Skill is consistent and well developed. Student can modify own behavior as needed and is an
independent problem-solver. Student can maintain skills with other clients, and in other settings, when
appropriate. Student shows independence in providing services. Supervisor serves as consultant in areas
where student has less experience; provides guidance on ideas initiated by student. (skill is present >90%
of the time).
