Ethical Decision-Making in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology: It’s Complicated! Non-Member Registration
9/15/2021 - 11/15/2021
Event Description
Presented by Theresa Rodger, M.A., CCC-SLP, ASHA Fellow, Ed.S. (LD), SLP Consulting Services.
Audiologists and speech-language pathologists may face challenges in adhering to adopted codes of ethics and practicing in a manner consistent with the prescriptions contained therein. Defining what is ethical is sometimes opaque as many ethical situations are multi-faceted with countervailing considerations that must be weighed to reach the best possible outcome. Current practice considerations and constraints, including those encountered during the public health emergency, will be discussed, and a decision-making model will be delineated which can be applied as practice issues are encountered. Information about multi-state practice and the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC), social media, civility, and the code of ethics will be highlighted
