Our next honoree for Black History Month is Dr. Saunja T. Burt, a trailblazing audiologist who’s opening doors and expanding representation in audiology. Dr. Burt, reportedly the first Black student to graduate from a four-year Au.D. program at Central Michigan University and a leader in hearing loss intervention, has spent her career mentoring students, advocating for early screening, and challenging misconceptions about hearing health. Her work helps ensure more families understand and access essential care.

During Black History Month, we would again like to highlight educators and innovators who helped to revolutionize and Audiology, Speech, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy industries.

Our first honoree is Dr. Sandra C. Holley-Carter: trailblazer, visionary, and the first African American president of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). A renowned speech-language pathologist and former dean, her leadership helped reshape the field by adding inclusive, culturally responsive definitions of communication, ensuring differences were never mistaken for deficits. Her legacy continues to inspire generations in the speech and hearing industry.
