What is a weekend SLPA?

Weekend SLPAs, or Speech-Language Pathology Assistants, are professionals who support licensed speech-language pathologists in providing therapy and services, specifically during weekends. Their duties often include helping implement treatment plans, preparing materials, assisting with documentation, and working directly with clients under supervision. Weekend SLPAs are essential in settings that require speech therapy services outside of traditional weekday hours, such as hospitals, clinics, or schools. They help ensure clients receive consistent support and care according to their therapy goals.
