In this bonus episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, unpack the petition, ASHA’s public letter of dissent, and why using the SLP Interstate Compact as a scare tactic matters for SLPs nationwide. We break down the Medicare Administrative Contractor and private insurance barriers, the CMS connection, and Fix SLP’s alternative solution to qualify new graduates for full licensure immediately after graduation while protecting both access to care and new graduate support. ·Want to earn some PDHs or CEUs with a discount?
