ASHA Accreditation Standards
The Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of
the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) accredits graduate programs that
prepare individuals to enter professional practice in audiology or speech-language pathology.
The CAA and its predecessors were established by ASHA, which authorized the CAA to
function autonomously in setting and implementing standards and awarding accreditation.
