What is an example of a minor violation resulting in reprimand?
Answer
A reprimand might be issued in a situation such as an individual saying in a publication that they could assure a family that their child could be helped with therapy. Then a reader of that document reports the statement to the Board of Ethics indicating that the clinician promised that the child's problem would be corrected. In reality, the clinician did not really say, “I guarantee that your child will improve,” but did imply that significant progress would be achieved. The ASHA Board of Ethics might say that they should be cognizant of the wording that they are choosing so as not to give families a false perception of what is going on.
