The concept of mindfulness—which can improve professional and personal outlook—focuses on three major features: intention, attention, and attitude. This recorded session from ASHA’s 2021 Schools Connect online conference answers the question: What if school-based professionals apply the three features of mindfulness to understanding ASHA’s Code of Ethics and daily ethical practice? The presenter highlights the four major principles of the Code of Ethics as they relate to daily practice; discusses considerations outside the school (e.g., state licensure boards and employee guidelines) that are relevant to ethics analysis; and reviews school-based scenarios that apply the Code of Ethics and ethical decision-making.
