A speech-language pathology clinical fellowship (CF) serves as a transitional professional experience following graduate school. Successful completion is required by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to obtain a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in Speech-Language Pathology. In addition to ASHA requirements, most states also require a clinical fellowship to obtain state licensure. Without the underlying knowledge and resources, the transition into a medical setting can be difficult.
This bundle was created as an educational guide to support new and experienced clinicians, as well as, offer functional intervention tools. This resource includes educational information on basic procedures and documentation, billing and coding, no-prep handouts and inservice templates, a comprehensive goal bank, functional therapy ideas, and much more. The included treatment activities simulate real-life skills and can be used to target functional relevant goals.

This is a great resource! I am trying my best to incorporate more functional tasks with my adult clients and this is a great resource for that! My clients are more engaged and see the rationale for therapy for these tasks!

This packet was SUPER helpful during practicum! My university utilized Simucase and we had to do ‘mock therapy’ with an adult for credit. This packet was amazing and what I used for my videos. 🙂
