I’m 47 and have a BA in public speaking that is over 20 years old. I’ve been at home taking care of kids for years and will be rejoining the workforce in one more year. I’ve been thinking about what career I’d like to transition to, and would like to pursue speech language pathology. Currently, I’d like to pursue SLPA, but would like to approach this in a way that allows me to enroll in a masters program down the road (if I want to - still on the fence). In my state, you need an associate or bachelor degree in SLP/Comm Disorders plus 100 hours of field work to obtain a SLPA license.
I was considering just taking leveling courses - but it sounds like I absolutely need an associate or bachelor degree for an SLPA license.
Just wondering if there are online programs that can help me with this educational path.
