The Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) offers voluntary accreditation to graduate degree programs in Audiology and in Speech-Language Pathology housed within institutions of higher education. The CAA has the authority to establish and enforce a set of standards for the accreditation of graduate education programs in these areas and has the authority to make accreditation decisions.

Individuals who wish to provide input about a program may do so in two ways:

1. Submitting written comments prior to the accreditation site visit in accordance with the procedures outlined on the CAA’s Public Comment policy page.
2. Attending and providing comments at a public meeting during the program’s scheduled site visit.

All comments provided must:

• Identify the specific program seeking candidacy, initial accreditation, or reaccreditation with the CAA.
