ASHA—The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
the professional, scientific, and credentialing （资格认证）
association for 140,000 members and affiliates（使并入）
who are speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and
speech, language, and hearing scientists in the United States
and internationally.
ASHA uses the term credentialing to refer to a type of designation,
award, status, recognition.The term can refer to either individuals or
organizations that have been assessed or evaluated in some manner
and determined to meet certain qualifications, requirements, or
standards.
ASHA currently administers four different credentialing programs that
span the continuum of professional development:
academic program accreditation
clinical certification
continuing education provider
clinical specialty recognition
Beginning:
ASHA‘s rich history began in 1925 at an informal meeting
of the National Association of Teachers of Speech (NATS) in
Iowa City, IA. NATS was an organization made up of people
working in the areas of rhetoric（修辞） debate and theater.
Its members were becoming increasingly interested in
speech correction and wanted to establish an organization
to promote "scientific, organized work in the field of speech
correction." Accordingly, in December of that year, the
American Academy of Speech Correction-ASHA's original
predecessor-was born.
Process：
Since the establishment of the American Academy of Speech Correction, the
association changed its name 4 times before ultimately settling on the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association:
1925-American Academy of Speech Correction, it original predecessor
1927-American Society for the Study of Disorders of Speech
1934-American Speech Correction Association
1947-American Speech and Hearing; Association
1978-American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
Now：
ASHA has been the guardian of these professions for over 75 years,
initiating the development of national standards for audiologists and for
speech-language pathologists and certifying professionals for 55 years.
ASHA has grown exponentially since its inception-from 25 members in
1925 to 130,000 in 2008. ASHA opened its first National office on January
1, 1958 in Washington, DC. The association subsequently moved 4 times,
most recently settling in its currently location in Rockville, MD in 2008.
VISION：
Making effective communication, a human right, accessible and achievable for all
Mission
Empowering and supporting speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and
speech, language, and hearing scientists by:
Advocating on behalf of persons with communication and related disorders
Advancing communication science
Promoting effective human communication
Strategic Objectives
Strategic Objectives are action-oriented statements of what must be done
to be successful and define the Association's strategic intent. Following
are the Strategic Objectives and associated outcomes identified for
ASHA's Strategic Pathway to Excellence:

The Honors of the Association recognizes distinguished contribution
to the field of speech, language, and hearing and is the highest honor the
Association can give.
Members are encouraged to nominate individuals who are well known
throughout the nation and the world for a lifetime of innovative clinical
practice, insightful and rigorous research, creative administration,
effective legislative activity, outstanding teaching, or other distinguished
professional contribution.
Honors may be awarded to an individual whose contributions have been
confined to a single one of the above areas. Although typically
conferred near the end of a professional career, the quality of the
achievements and their impact on the professions are of greater
importance than length of service.
