Unlocking Communication: What are SLP-As and CDAs?
Communication is the heartbeat of connection, but sometimes it needs a little extra support. That’s where Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLP-As) and Communicative Disorders Assistants (CDAs) come in!
These specialized professionals are the "boots on the ground" in the world of speech therapy. Working under the guidance of a registered Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), they turn clinical goals into daily victories.
What Do They Do?
While the SLP performs the initial assessment and creates the treatment plan, the SLP-A or CDA is the one who:
Conducts Therapy Sessions
Supports Literacy
Manages Technology
Tracks Progress
Who Do They Help?
They work with people of all ages—from toddlers to adults in many areas of need.
The Power of the Team
By working as a team, they can provide more frequent, consistent, and affordable care. This collaborative approach ensures that every client gets the practice they need to communicate with confidence.
