Dr. Janet Koehnke named ASHA fellow
Posted in: Communication Sciences Disorders
Janet Koehnke, Ph.D., CCC-A, was chosen to be a fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). She will be recognized at the 2012 conference of ASHA in Atlanta, GA to be held this November.
According to ASHA, "Fellowship is one of the highest honors the Association bestows. To be awarded Fellow, the nominee must have made outstanding contributions to the discipline of communication sciences and disorders.
The key word for this award is "outstanding:" the nominee must truly stand out among one’s peers. The term implies contributions that are significant and would be so regarded within and beyond one’s community or state. While there are thousands of members who fulfill their professional responsibilities competently, only a small percentage have, by virtue of the quality and amount of their contributions, distinguished themselves sufficiently to warrant recognition."
