TX Speech Assistant Hours for certification

[DanyRdz]

Hello,

I wanted to ask a question about receiving your speech therapist assistant license in TX. I am currently pursuing a second bachelors degree in communication disorders. I would like to apply for my slpa license, I have all the classes, I just do not know how to get the 25 observation/ 25 clinical instructional hours. Do I call around to speech clinics? Or can I do it at a school? Any insight would be very helpful. Thank you.

I know for me I completed the 25 hours by finding a SLP who was willing to help me. This did not guarantee a job with the clinic. Hope this helps!

You can also email therapy companies and ask if they are currently hiring for SLPA positions then tell them about your certifications and ask them to help with process. Some companies will work with you
