Our graduate students are here helping a client successfully integrate a switch with his augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. Watching him communicate more independently was an incredible moment for both him and his family.

This is exactly the kind of hands-on, life-changing experience our students gain during clinical rotations. When you train with us, you'll work directly with clients, applying cutting-edge techniques and witnessing firsthand how speech-language pathology transforms lives.

We need your help to tell the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that speech-language pathology clinical fellows (CFs) should be recognized as licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and eligible to bill Medicare Part B. Please sign ASHA's petition by July 25th.

CMS’ recent update to the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual has made clinical fellows (CFs) ineligible to bill Medicare Part B. This impacts CFs’ jobs and Medicare beneficiaries’ access to care.
