Virtual lsha convention 2021: THANK YOU!

Thanks to all of our participants who attended our Virtual LSHA Convention this year! We had over 220 registrations, and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback on the quality of the presentations, the professionalism of the speakers, and the ease of joining. We certainly hope that next year we will be able to meet in person again, but we appreciate everyone's grace and patience these past two years as we have dipped our toe into the online waters!

The Continuing Education tab is still the place to find information on how to send your CEUs for processing.  Please contact LSHAContEd@yahoo.com with any questions.

LSHA helps to pass interstate compact

The Louisiana Speech Language Hearing Association worked hard this Legislative Session to pass the Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact bill.  The Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) is an occupational licensure that allows Speech-Language Pathologists & Audiologists to practice across state lines in both telehealth & in-person in states that participate in the Compact.

The ASLP-IC is operational when 10 states enact the legislation for the compact. On October 21, 2020, Senate Bill 34 was passed, making Louisiana the 6th state to enact legislation! Much thanks to Senator B. Peacock for introducing the bill and Representative Dr. B. Carpenter for supporting the bill on the house floor.
