So many SLPs don’t know what “Certified Nonmember” means, or that it’s even an option.

That confusion isn’t accidental.

ASHA created multiple categories, restricted access to some, buried others, and marketed the most expensive option as “standard.”

SLPs deserve accurate information to make informed decisions about their careers and their money.

Transparency should not be this hard.

That feeling you get when more SLPs learn about all of ASHA’s membership options.

1️⃣ASHA’s Certified Member option costs $250 and includes both ASHA membership and the Certificate of Clinical Competency (CCC). This is the option most SLPs are presented with and often assume is the only one available.

2️⃣The Certified Nonmember option costs $221. With this choice, you keep your CCC, you can can supervise students and new grads, the only thing you lose is ASHA membership.

3️⃣ASHA also offers a Membership Only option for $90, but this option is not available to practicing clinicians. Even if you want to support advocacy or be involved without holding the CCC, practicing SLPs are required to purchase the CCC to access membership.

ASHA often says CCC holders receive a “discount” on membership.
But if you’re a practicing clinician, membership cannot be purchased on its own.

So it’s worth asking: how can something be called a discount if there’s no standalone price available to you?

4️⃣ And of course the 4th option is to drop the CCC entirely. Make sure you’ve done your research to ensure you don’t need it for your work situation.

This is about transparency, so SLPs can make informed decisions that align with their values and circumstances.

Modeling AAC can feel hard.
Like learning a new language and trying to build a new habit when you’re already stretched thin.

So I created something to make it feel doable.
Low pressure. Real life. Small steps that actually stick.

When we take a moment to regulate ourselves, we give kids the model they actually need.

Little eyes are always learning and they learn emotional safety from us first.

We all want to support kids as they grow, learn, and communicate, but sometimes the phrases we’ve been taught to use can actually shut down connection instead of building it.

Kids need safety, regulation, and modeling before they can use language. And when we shift the way we communicate, everything changes.

Here are some common phrases to avoid and simple, supportive alternatives you can use instead. These small shifts help children feel seen, heard, and understood, no matter how they communicate.

If you work with kids, or have kids in your life, this one’s for you!

Save + share with someone who needs it.

Nothing like a December dues reminder to really bring that holiday cheer 🎄✨

ASHA reports more than $54.4 million in “program expenses,” but when you look closer, the majority of that money isn’t going to programs at all.

It’s going to personnel.

📌 $36,050,147 of program spending = staff salaries
📌 Only $18.4M goes to actual programming

SLPs are paying high dues every year, while the value we receive stays the same.
Where is the investment in clinicians? In improving working conditions? In affordable CEUs? In the future of our field?

These numbers raise real questions.

If ASHA wants trust, transparency is the starting point for those who are footing the bill.

Building the barn, starting equine-assisted sessions, none of it happened overnight. It was a huge risk. It was uncomfortable. It was bumpy at times.

But that’s how every big dream works.
You write it down.
You take one small step.
Then another.
And before you know it, you’re standing in the middle of the life you once hoped for.

If you’re a business owner with a dream sitting on your heart, take the risk.
Start messy.
Start small.
Start scared.
But start.

Your future self will thank you.

✨ The Foundation for Communication ✨

Before children can use words, they need something far more important: a regulated body and a regulated nervous system.

Think of communication like a triangle:

🔻 Sensory Regulation (the base)

A child must feel safe in their body first.
Their breath, movement, and senses need to feel organized, not overwhelmed.

🔻 Emotional Regulation (the middle)

Once their body is supported, their feelings can settle. Connection, co-regulation, and feeling understood all live here.

🔻 Language (the top)

When the body and emotions feel safe, language has room to bloom. This is where we see more communication, gestures, sounds, words, AAC use, and engagement.

If your child is struggling with communication, it doesn’t mean they “won’t” talk, it often means their foundation needs support.

Start at the bottom.
Build safety.
Build connection.
And language will grow from there.
