A question ... related to the TOD thing

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know where to find legal definitions for an SLP or TOD? I did a

search for them, thinking that perhaps if there was a legal definition, the

services intended to be provided by each might be more clear.

I have had little luck finding a definition for a TOD. I did find a copy of

the NY State licensing exam TODs must take to work here. But nothing that

defines what a TOD is or does. Plenty of case law about teaching deaf students

and all that, but I haven't found a definition.

This looks like a useful site, although I'll admit to finding it a bit

overwhelming. This is the definition of SLP per NY law, but it came up when I

searched for a definition of a TOD. The licensing requirements are also at this

site.

preventing, ameliorating or modifying such disorder conditions in

individuals and/or groups of individuals.
