I am currently a grad student earning my hours at our on-campus clinic. A couple of weeks ago, my client's mom asked me if I can go to her house and work with her child when the semester is over, when the client is no longer my client. I guess I am just wondering if that is allowed? I'm not trying to get kicked out of my program or get in trouble by ASHA for working with my client on the side. I (obviously) do not have my license yet and I am not a licensed SLPA.

I would cover your bases and talk to your program. I am a SLPA in the state of CA working for a school. I have been asked a lot actually to work with my clients over the summer. I just talked to my boss about it and got the OK from her. It also depends what this parent wants you to do. I don't know if you can legally treat this child without an SLP present.

I would not.

Neither would I. Especially if I'm not being paid.

Plus, it just sounds fishy. Like your client wants free services or something..

I definitely would not. If anyone found out I believe you can get in trouble with the board. You would need an SLP supervising you or at least checking in to make sure everything is going smoothly.

I agree with everyone else, I wouldn't do this, you're not a licensed SLP or SLPA and you're able to work with the clients in the clinic because you're being supervised by a CCC-SLP.
