New Jersey - Speech Therapy Students (Rutgers)

[sintapikka]

Apologies if this should not be posted here.

 

I am look for speech therapy students (prefarably from Rutgers / NJ - FInal year of their studies), who can provide Speech therapy services to my kid (he already gets ST at school, want to supplement at home).

This could work out well for me , would save some money and probably would work out well for the studens too

 

 

Thanks and Rgds

Hi there! I went to Rutgers as a Lingusitics and Psychology double major and am starting Montclair in the fall for SLP grad. Would love to get into contact with you regarding this.

@ Sintapikka: 

I would recommend looking into the possibility of getting therapy services through an on campus speech-language and hearing clinic. Many universities with speech-language pathology master's programs have on campus clinics. These clinics usually provide reduced cost therapy sessions, as the sessions are run by students. But at the same time the students are monitored by professors and licensed speech language pathologists. 

 

@whoknows14: 

Just a suggestion, make sure you are following ALL state and national laws when it comes to providing (and charging for) treatment. You are NOT licensed when you are a student and different states have different regulations about what you can do. I don't know about NJ (or CAs for that matter) but I would hate for you to be doing something unethical or even illegal despite what I am sure are very good intentions.

I agree with @NorcalSLP. According to the ASHA guidelines, providing services without a license is not allowed. It may affect your ability to obtain licensure in the future. Campus clinical services tend to be more cost-effective for families. Best of luck, @Sintapikka!
