Complaint Against Speech-Language-Pathologist Dismissed by the ASHA Board of Ethics

Posted on Firm News, Professional Licensure Investigations by Rachel Broughton

At Nicholson & Eastin, LLP, we successfully defended a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) accused of violating the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Code of Ethics. This case arose from allegations concerning her conduct as a supervisor at a Florida-based hospital. Through meticulous investigation and a well-prepared defense, the complaint was dismissed in its entirety by the ASHA Board of Ethics.


Case Overview: Dismissal of ASHA Ethics Complaint

The ASHA investigation focused on multiple claims of ethical violations related to the Speech-Language Pathologist’s supervisory duties. Understanding the potential impact on our client’s professional reputation and career, we took immediate action:

  1. Thorough Investigation: The firm conducted an in-depth analysis of the complaint to identify and disprove unfounded allegations.
  2. Formal Response Preparation: We crafted a persuasive, evidence-backed response, demonstrating the Speech-Language Pathologist’s ethical conduct and commitment to professional standards.
  3. Outcome: The ASHA Board of Ethics reviewed the case and supporting documentation, ultimately dismissing the complaint in full.
