What is the minimum experience requirement for an SLP assistant to present IEP goals during an annual review?

The minimum experience requirement for an SLP assistant to present IEP goals during an annual review is three years. This standard is established to ensure that the assistant has acquired sufficient knowledge and practical experience in the field of speech-language pathology. It reflects the idea that presenting Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals is a critical responsibility that requires a solid understanding of both the content of these goals and the specific needs of the students involved.

Having three years of experience means that the assistant has had ample opportunity to develop skills in assessment, goal-setting, and intervention strategies. It also indicates that they have been exposed to various case scenarios and have participated actively in the treatment process, which is essential for effectively discussing and advocating for the IEP goals during the review meeting.
