Take Control Of Your Future- Let Your Voice Be Heard In Washington

For all of us going into speech pathology & audiology, it is essential that we are aware of the the current legislation that dictates our future careers. Letting your voice be heard at a governmental level allows you to advocate for yourself which continues to support your ability to provide services. More importantly, advocating for our clients promotes their ability to receive the highest quality of care and the right amount of care.  

Luckily, participation is made easy through ASHA's Advocacy Programs. 

Here are the 3 bills that are currently being voted on:

Medicare Fees and Therapy Cap Exceptions Process Addressed In Fiscal Cliff Legislation

Action Alert: Tell Congress to Protect Funding for IDEA

Medicare Home Health Agency Rules for 2013

It takes less than 1 minute to send a letter to our state senator and representatives. 

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Every. Person. Counts. 

It only takes four letters to a senator or representative for that issue to be investigated and adequately represented at the state and federal level. Think of the impact that a whole program of Speech Pathology students can make. 

Join NSSLHA in our effort to consider the big picture and make a difference on the future of our field.
