The designation recognizes professional or scientific achievement and is given to an ASHA member who has made an outstanding contribution to the speech, language and hearing professions. The ASHA is the professional, scientific and credentialing association for more than 127,000 audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and speech, language, and hearing scientists in the United States and internationally.
