A Speech Pathologist assistant is a person who has a Bachelors degree in Speech Pathology. They are required to have an assistant license and a supervisor who is a licensed Speech Pathologist.

National laws require that the assistant have direct supervision at least 1 hour a week and indirect supervision at least 1 hour a week. This is the minimum, not the recommended. The supervisor is also responsible for the patients treatment plan and diagnosis.

Basically, the Speech Pathology assistant carries out the treatment plan (by giving therapy) they are given by the Speech Pathologist.
