Outstanding Leadership Award

GO SSLP would like to honor the dedication and hard work of not only SLP’s who may or may not carry a case load but those who demonstrate excellence in leading.

  • Development of professional learning and continuing education needs to support effective therapeutic practices (ex. in-services, team meetings, etc.). Demonstrate responsiveness to the needs of the group of SLPs they lead.
  •  Support with due process procedures and guidance for both county and state mandates. Demonstrate vision and goal setting practices for the speech-language department they lead to ensure best practices among their district.
