The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
(ASHA) is the national professional organization
for speech-language pathologists and audiologists.
It grants the "Certificate of Clinical Competence"
to those individuals who have satisfied stringent
requirements in education and training within these
fields.
Individuals who hold the ASHA Certificate of Clinical
Competence must have completed at least the M.A.
or M.S. degree from an approved training institution,
have satisfied the training requirements (including
at least 375 hours of supervised clinical practicum
in at least two different sites, as well as an internship
program [the Clinical Fellowship Year {CFY}] during
which their work has been supervised), and have
passed the NTSB examination in the field of specialty
(i.e., speech-language pathology or audiology).
