Transcript: Linda answers the question, “What support do professional supervisors provide to newly appointed speech–language pathologists?”

Over the past 10 years I have worked as a Speech–Language Pathologist-In-Charge and then a Senior Advisor – Speech–Language Therapy. During this time this position has developed to include services across a broad geographical area. 
It is a rewarding experience to provide ongoing support to SLPs through a range of options including face-to-face contact, phone support and the use of virtual technologies like web conferencing. As the SLPs grow into the role they develop their skills and abilities across a range of areas. I provide professional support and supervision through activities such as induction, developing a performance plan, case discussion and mentoring.
