Title: "Social Media Ethics for Students"

Speaker: Sydney Bassard, MSP, CCC-SLP, Owner of The Listening SLP, PLLC

Each year, more and more SLPs go to Facebook groups, Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok to find community and learn how to become better SLPs. As these platforms gain more professionals, we need to ask ourselves tough questions about how this has impacted our profession. Social media is here to stay for the time being, but SLPs can be smart consumers of information and resources presented to them. This presentation will discuss the ethics that surround engaging on social media, ways to leverage social media to improve client care, and ways to evaluate information on the internet.

As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. List potential ethical violations that can occur on social media.

2. Describe the pros and cons of SLPs engaging on social media platforms.

3. Explain ways to use social media to advance client care
