Vivian, I agree with you 100% that SLPs should say NO when asked to treat a child they know they are not qualified to teach. The problem is, by virtue of the CCC, ASHA gives them the credential to treat every disorder, so school superintendents and lawyers argue that they ARE qualified. The reality is that MANY SLPs "don't say no". How do we get them to honor the Code of Ethics they are supposed to uphold? How can they argue with the school lawyers who say that ASHA says they ARE qualified?
