Fast Fact Friday: School-based SLPs and Students with AAC Needs

If you’re up for a little light reading this weekend, you might want to check out ASHA’s 2014 SLP Schools Survey Caseload Report.

Among the findings:

• 55% of school-based SLPs regularly serve students with AAC needs
• 90% of them serve kids with ASD.
• The largest median caseload (60) was in Florida, and the smallest (35) was in New York.
