    The ASHA Convention That Changed Everything

    In this episode, Colleen Ashford, MS/SLP, joins Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, to share her first-time experience at the ASHA convention. She takes us inside the ASHA leadership Q&A at this year’s convention—where only a small handful of attendees showed up out of 13,000. From overhearing conversations about extravagant dinners to realizing how disconnected leadership is from the membership, Colleen takes us inside a space most clinicians never see. Her journey led her to a powerful decision: dropping the CCC. If you’re rethinking your ASHA membership, the CCC, or your role in shaping this field, this episode offers hard truths and a fresh perspective. Tune in as we challenge the systems holding clinicians back and prove that change doesn’t happen by waiting. It happens by fixing it.

    The Myth of the Mandatory CCC

    Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, tackle common myths in speech-language pathology, focusing on the necessity of the CCC. They debunk the misconception that the CCC is required to bill Medicare, emphasizing that Medicare policy is federal and does not vary by state. They clarify that reinstating the CCC involves only a fee, a passing Praxis score (if needed), and professional development—no college courses or back pay. Additionally, they confirm that only two and a half states (Nevada, Delaware, and Virginia) require the CCC for initial licensure. They discuss the role of the CCC in completing AAC assessments and dispel fears that removing the CCC requirement will hinder Medicaid reimbursement efforts, sharing real-world case studies to prove otherwise. Through their discussion, they empower SLPs to challenge misinformation, advocate for transparency, and make informed decisions about their professional credentials.
