School-based SLPs can face ethical challenges ranging from overly large caseloads to student confidentiality and telepractice. In this episode of All Things Ethics, Elise Davis-McFarland, PhD, CCC-SLP, F-ASHA, is joined by Theresa Rodgers, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, EdSp, F-ASHA, to work through scenarios involving ethical violations that can occur in school practice, along with the ASHA Code of Ethics principles and rules that apply.
Elise and Theresa address ethical issues related to client abandonment, school clinicians who also have a private practice, and clinicians' lack of understanding of district requirements for their positions. The episode also explains the dilemmas that can arise when documentation isn't kept current or incorrect billing is submitted, and the ethical requirements for notifying students and parents when therapy services cannot be provided.
