Advocating for Workload and Alternative Service Delivery Models to Achieve a Manageable Caseload
9/18/2021 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Event Description
Presented by Janet Deppe, M.S., CCC-SLP, FNAP, Director, State Affairs, Government Affairs and Public Policy, ASHA.
This presentation was originally scheduled for March 18th during the MSHA Annual Conference. Because of technical difficulties we have rescheduled this presentation and invite all previously registered conference attendees and others to attend.
Caseloads continue to increase in school districts across the country with fewer supports available to audiologist and SLP's in schools. ASHA's workload model helps address the need for careful consideration of caseload numbers. While some districts cannot afford to hire additional staff, another service delivery models and the use of extenders such as assistants can help members achieve a more manageable caseload. This presentation will explore ways to implement a workload model or other service delivery method to achieve reasonable caseloads and provide participants with resources to advocate for change in their school district. A participant activity will be used to develop a framework for members to use in advocacy.
