Speech Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) Program |
|
|
|
4/15/11 The Speech Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) program has been discontinued due to the economic downturn creating a reduced demand for this position in our local labor market. Constricted budgets have forced community colleges to take a close look at program offerings and CTE programs are routinely evaluated in on 2 year cycle. During the last 2 years, the SLPA Program was evaluated in an effort to seek community support both for practicum site placement and to obtain local data showing a job market for the SLPA job description. Students who were currently enrolled in the SLPA Program were identified (2 years ago) and given the opportunity to complete their degree during the review period. Administration supported the program and these student efforts by extending course offerings several times to promote successful outcomes. All students who were interested in completing the program were all allowed to do so during this 2 year evaluation period. Unfortunately, we will not be able to continue offering the SLPA program to our students at Grossmont any longer. We will refer students interested in SLPA training to other sites throughout the state.
