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