Who operates the Specialty Recognition Program for audiologists and speech-language pathologists?
ASHA’s Council for Clinical Specialty Recognition (CCSR)* reviews and votes on petitions to establish Specialty Boards** in specific areas of clinical practice. Once approved, a Specialty Board is responsible for operating the specialty recognition program in that area, including review of individual applications and conferring of specialist status on qualified applicants. The CCSR monitors the Specialty Board’s adherence to their approved program through ongoing communications and an annual report.
