how are you making a
difference in your members'
professional lives?
MSHA does a great job of
advocating for the professions of
audiology and speech-language
pathology. In the last year, MSHA
supported an initiative to streamline
special education paperwork,
protected the speech-language
pathology license from infringement
by other groups, introduced a bill to
license speech-language pathology
assistants, and continued to advocate
for all of our clients. Specifically,
MSHA is working to amend a bill
that prevents Medicaid beneficiaries
from using their speech-generating
devices to access the Internet and
e-mail.
What is your association's
proudest accomplishment?
One of the proudest moments in
MSHA's history was when our
professions gained licensure. This
achievement was the result of the
tireless work of many dedicated
volunteers, and that spirit of
volunteerism continues as MSHA
is currently proposing a license for
SLPAs.
Other recent efforts include:
* Ongoing legislative advocacy.
* Community-building through our
mentor program.
* A leadership table at our annual
convention, where members can
chat with MSHA's Executive
Council.
* Social events (MSHA Night Out
at Chili's).
* MSHA on the Road (town hall
forums across the state).
* Receiving two grants from ASHA.
* Development of resources, such
as the "Talk With Me" manual
that helps professionals work with
clients from all cultures.
* Creation of "Auditory Processing
Disorders Assessment and
Intervention: Best Practices,"
which highlights conclusions from
MSHA's Task Force on Auditory
Processing Disorders.

do you have a particularly
successful advocacy or
recruitment strategy to share?
MSHA volunteers make personal
phone calls to members who have
let their membership lapse. This
encourages members to renew, which
keeps MSHA thriving!
What should every
communication sciences and
disorders professional in your
state know about the association?
MSHA is advocating for audiologists
and SLPs-both members and
nonmembers alike-and we
appreciate all the members we have.
MSHA encourages all audiologists
and SLPs in Minnesota to become
members, as it is through member
support that we can continue to
advocate for the professions!
You know that assistants and
supervisors work well as a team.

What is the most significant
challenge, unique
circumstance or pressing
frustration facing communication
sciences and disorders
professionals in your state today?
Our biggest challenge is making sure
others know what we do, why we
do it and how we can assist clients/
students in achieving their goals.
Other challenges are the shortage
of professionals, the burden of
paperwork, and the push to do more
with less. MSHA stands ready to
assist our members with these issues,
and we hold town hall events to
discuss our challenges. Following
the forums, MSHA advocates for
members and the clients they serve at
the capitol and around the state.
