    Sustaining Partner Pledge

    Sustaining Partner Pledge

    When we started Fix SLP in September 2023, 114 people listened to our first podcast episode in the first two days. Since then, our platform has grown to thousands of downloads and thousands of social media followers. We aim to build a dynamic, grassroots advocacy firm that collaborates with SLPs nationwide to strengthen our profession. Our sustaining partners help make our mission possible.

    Pledge what you can! Our sustaining partner SLPs help make the work of Fix SLP possible!

    You can expect your partnership funds to be used for:

    • Legal counsel
    • A custom website build with state-specific resources (expected to launch this spring)
    • Operational expenses (web hosting fees, subscriptions for content creation, etc.)

    Our team would LOVE to be paid, but sustaining partner funds are not used for that purpose. We are working diligently to find alternative funding sources that will allow us to do this work more consistently!


    Fix SLP sustaining partners make it possible for SLPs to access our team.

        How your pledge makes a difference

        Protecting the rights of SLPs

        We track changes in state and federal legislation to monitor encroachment on SLP rights from national associations that sell certification products.

        Empowering SLPs

        We are building a team of SLPs, attorneys, and advocates dedicated to arming SLPs with the information they need to change legislation at the grassroots level (for example, removing the CCC from Medicaid requirements).

        Informing employers

        We provide PDF downloads to help employers understand the value of licensed speech-language pathology professionals and the redundancy of national certification products.

        Fighting predatory marketing

        Using our social media platforms, we openly question deceptive trade practices and predatory marketing aimed at suppressing SLPs' right to be free from optional certification products.

        Supporting state associations

        We support state associations by amplifying their messages on our podcast and social media channels.

        Sustaining partners make these resources possible:
