I needed to fix changes she made previously. It is amazing how these people magically know what happens in sessions they didn't observe with clients they never met.
So you have the same problem with both supervisors. That tells me the problem is you, not the supervisors. There is a way your company wants the paperwork done and you aren't doing it that way.

The paragraph explaining it is my professional opinion that an iPad isn't medically necessary for my former client is now half as long as it used to be.

If she tells me to remove so many reasons that she then says that I don't have a good argument against a free $5,000 iPad, I might as well recommend in favor I will flatly refuse and tolerate no discussion.
How much does your company make on that $5,000 iPad if you say the client needs it? How much does the way your write your report effect how much the company makes? There is likely a reason you supervisors and boss are telling you to write your reports a certain way.

Can you even make the call if they need the iPad or it that decision up to the SLP that is responsible for the clients treatment plan?

That 3rd party is the SLP that is responsible for the client. You are their assistant.
