Slide 7
2014 SLP Standards: Key Revisions Most program process language
has been removed Sequencing of courses, program documentation, etc.
More focus on outcomes Reduced procedural language (e.g., how to
apply) Focused on what applicants should look like rather than how
they were prepared Some exceptions to this (e.g.,Standard IV-A:
biological sciences, physical sciences, statistics,
social/behavioral sciences) 7
Slide 8
2014 SLP Standards Recurring Questions Is physics or chemistry
required? What about statistics? Std. IV-A: The applicant must have
demonstrated knowledge of the biological sciences, physical
sciences, statistics, and the social/behavioral sciences.
Implementation: Biological sciences should emphasize content area
related to human or animal sciences Physical sciences should
include physics or chemistry Social/behavioral sciences should
include psychology, sociology, anthropology, or public health A
stand-alone course in statistics is required not research
methodology NOTE: Where the word should appears, CFCC is suggesting
optimal choices, but leaving final decisions in the hands of the
programs 8
Slide 9
Guidance for STUDENTS Question: What should I take for
biological sciences or social/ behavioral sciences? Answer:
Whatever is required for your undergraduate degree that will
satisfy the requirements at the university where you plan to obtain
your graduate degree 9
Slide 10
Guidance Question: Must I take physics or chemistry? NO - If
you are assured acceptance into a program that does not require
physics or chemistry for physical sciences YES - If you are
considering application to a program that does require either
physics or chemistry Question: Must I take a statistics* course? NO
- If you are eligible to apply for certification before August 31,
2014 YES - If you are not eligible to apply for certification
before August 31, 2014 * NOTE: Statistics course cannot be a
Methodology course 10
Slide 11
Guidance What is meant by direct supervision in real time?
Supervision should be considered to have happened in real time if
it occurred at the actual time during which a process or event
occurs. The two events are synchronous/ simultaneous. real time and
onsite are separate constructs 11
Slide 12
Guidance What is meant by direct client contact? Only direct
contact with the client or the client's family in assessment,
intervention, and/or counseling can be counted toward practicum
Paperwork, programming, meetings, preparation, reporting are
excluded 12
Slide 13
