The North Carolina Board of Examiners for SLPAs has created a new policy requiring hearing screenings prior to speech and language evaluations and policies for failed hearing screenings. (see policy link or on the NCBOE website). The NCSHLA Board of Directors wants to ensure our members are aware of this new policy and are given time to provide feedback to NCBOE for SLPAs before the policy is codified into rule. If you have comments or questions regarding this policy please email Denise Brown directly at dbrown@ncboeslpa.org.
