Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 <<Thanks for the ASHA tip ... Jill>> I read that ASHA code of ethics and one of the items mentions that they are to use all resources, including referrals if necessary. We have a private TOD in our IEP for consultations who the school's SLP has been reluctant to work with. That SLP is now out on maternity leave, and the replacement could have met with this TOD today, but said she would not feel comfortable with that until after she gets her feet wet with Neal. My opinion is that both SLPs have a pride issue that is keeping them from using this resource. Does anyone here think that I could/should use this ASHA code of ethics to get them to be more open? Or would that just lead to bad feelings that could make it not worth it? The private TOD has worked with oral-deaf kids for over 20 years and used to teach at Neal's oral-option school, so she's known him since he was 18 months old. She has more knowledge about ci kids than everyone else is our district combined. I am lucky that the district is paying for her this year and I doubt they will again next year (they only contracted with her because the county TOD switched positions and they didn't have one for a while this year), so I really want to take advantage of her knowledge.
