As an SLP, can I deduct online curriculum subscriptions and therapy supplies such as bubbles, books, craft supplies, etc?

If you're an employee -- someone who receives a Form W-2 for their services -- you can no longer claim such a deduction.

Unfortunately, job-related expenses for employees are no longer deductible under the new law.  Please see the TurboTax Help article "Can employees deduct any job-related expenses?" for more information. 

However, if you're self-employed as a Speech-Language Pathologist, these would appear to be “ordinary and necessary” expenses, and should be deductible.

Please see the TurboTax Help article "Where do I enter my self-employment business expenses, like home office, vehicle mileage, and suppli..." for guidance.
