Self-Assessment
The SAT provides you with a mechanism to evaluate your compliance with CASLPO's professional practice standards, to develop Learning Goals, and to report your professional development/continuing education in the form of Continuous Learning Activity Credits (CLACs). The SAT is broad enough to address the needs of both Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology in a variety of practice settings, yet specific enough to allow reflection on your individual practice.
In order to help members with this important undertaking, we have developed a video which can be accessed through this YouTube™ link.
The video provides a step by step demonstration on how to complete all sections of the SAT. We hope that it helps!
