March 2024

Registrant Engagement Survey

On March 14 an email from ACSLPA was sent to all
non-courtesy registrants with a unique link to complete an important survey.
ACSLPA staff collaborated with Pivotal Research Inc. to develop the survey that will inform ACSLPA's decision-making, help evaluate the College's effectiveness, assist ACSLPA with improving the services provided to registrants, and help the College understand the perspectives and experiences of registrants.

To encourage your participation, ACSLPA has provided Pivotal Research with two $50 gift cards as draw prizes. All of the information is in your inbox. If you did not receive the email on March 14, please contact ACSLPA for your link.

Please set aside 12-15 minutes to complete this survey, your input is very important to the College.

ACSLPA 2023 Member Demographic Survey

In 2023, 210 registrants (188 SLPs and 22 Audiologists) completed the Member Demographic Survey to report on key demographics of ACSLPA's membership. The response rate for this survey was 13%.

The results from the survey are now available on the ACSLPA website, click here to view.

Key College Documents

ACSLPA has developed a variety of helpful key documents which are always accessible on our website. Regulated members must adhere to ACSLPA's Standards of Practice, Code of Ethics, and Competency Profiles. ACSLPA's guidelines and other key documents are developed to help regulated members meet these minimum requirements.

This month we want to encourage you to take the time to review the requirements of the Code of Ethics. They are the foundation of ethical practice. A breach of the code may constitute unprofessional conduct.
