Importance
Audiologists play a vital role in supporting patients and delivering high-quality hearing care.
They help ensure that patients receive timely and accurate services, while also contributing to the overall efficiency of the audiology practice.

Speech-Language Assistants
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2355S0801X
Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLPAs) work under the direct supervision of licensed Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to provide treatment and support to individuals with speech, language, and communication disorders.
Their duties include implementing treatment plans, conducting screening tests, assisting with assessments, collecting and recording client data, and performing clerical tasks related to therapy.
SLPAs do not diagnose disorders, develop treatment plans, or provide counseling, as those activities are exclusively within the scope of an SLP.
SLPAs must work under the direct supervision of a licensed SLP, who is responsible for their training, guidance, and oversight.
