UM was founded in 1848 with 80 students and has been home to wellknown writers such as William C. Faulkner and John Grisham. Students, faculty, and local residents agree that the debate gave the town—and the deep South—a chance for a fresh introduction after the infamous racial conflicts of the 1960s. “What better opportunity could there be for UM than hosting the first African-American running for president?” Kellum asked, pointing to the full circle of UM’s history.

Neither company explicitly excluded coverage, but did so indirectly, characterizing the devices as “investigational” for relevant speech disorders. Premera excluded AAC devices and SGDs for disorders “due primarily to autism or other pervasive developmental disorders.” Regence’s language was slightly different, excluding the devices “for the treatment of autism, autism spectrum disorders, or mental retardation.” See Reversals page 9 Published 17 times/year LEADER Nonmember/ Institution Nonmember/ Individual DOMESTIC $154 $103 FOREIGN $193 $136 1.888.498.6699 ASHA Product Sales www.asha.org/shop 57 http://www.nsslha.org&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://journals.asha.org http://www.asha.org http://www.asha.org/shop&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09
