Speech Language Pathology: Supporting Accreditation in Exxat Prism
This webinar from Exxat featured SLP accreditation site visitor Christina Kelly and account manager Priscilla Bruntmyer, covering how Exxat Prism helps speech-language pathology programs prepare for and maintain CAA and CFCC accreditation.
Key Takeaways:
- Triangulation is the core concept. Site visitors verify (they don't decide) compliance across 150+ interwoven standards, looking for consistent evidence across documents, websites, handbooks, faculty notes, and interviews. The most common finding is insufficient or inconsistent triangulation — policies exist but aren't represented consistently everywhere.
- Exxat Prism's main value is centralization. It gives programs one source of truth for accreditation evidence — curriculum mapping (with Leo AI-assisted mapping, heat maps, and gap/redundancy reports), competency management, mission statements, and uniform faculty CVs — all mappable to CAA and CFCC standards. The 2027 CFCC standards are already loaded.
- Curriculum (Standard 3): mapping reports surface gaps and redundancies; clinical settings tracking visualizes placement breadth/depth; compliance tracking integrates with Compliance Junction; affiliation agreements now have auto-expiration notifications; and students log hours across ASHA's "big nine" areas.
- Students & advising (Standard 4): document advising, remediation, and student interventions consistently — a new feature lets you publish notes to students. Christina's top recommendation: build a centralized, consistent remediation and advising tracking process that faculty and students can clearly describe.
- Assessment (Standard 5) & getting started: evaluations are fully customizable (no required SLP format), with CASA workflows, site assessments, and custom stakeholder surveys. Closing advice for overwhelmed programs — start small, pick one or two standards, and build over time with your account management team.
