Earlier this week, the University of Delaware faculty senate gave final approval to the school's new graduate program in speech language pathology. We will no longer be the only state in America without such a graduate program, and as a result, we will finally have a steady pipeline of speech therapists doing their clinical hours in our state and ultimately working in our state. We are still years away from our first graduates, but this is a huge step forward in providing critical speech therapy services to our kids. Thanks again to Representative Valerie Longhurst who has been working on this for a decade.

Our children have suffered b/c of the tremendous shortage of speech and language pathologists in Delaware. We are the only state that doesn't have post-secondary education program in SLP. It took 10 years and that's an indictment of the policy makers and the education funders. But, the core advocates finally racked up a win - late but far better than never!
