What Board Recognition Means

What is Specialty Recognition?

Specialty Recognition is a means by which speech-language pathologists with advanced knowledge, skills and experience beyond the Certificate of Clinical Compentence (CCC-SLP) can be recognized by consumers, colleagues, referral and payer sources and the general public. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association initiated the Specialty Recognition Program in 1995.

What are the key components of ASHA’s Specialty Recognition Program?

  • Completely voluntary - the program is predicated on the expectation that the majority of ASHA members will continue to practice as generalists .
  • Non-exclusionary - holding specialty recognition in an area is not required in order to practice in that area.
  • Member-driven - the establishment of Specialty Boards in areas of specialized clinical practice depends on the initiative of groups of ASHA members to submit petitions to ASHA’s Council for Clinical Specialty Recognition (CCSR).
The Specialty Board on Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders is approved by the Council for Clinical Specialty Recognition of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
