DSHA provides the leadership so that practicing speech-language and hearing professionals can have opportunities to network and to maintain a strong voice in Delaware. We are a powerful group of professionals who consistently provide excellent services for our clients as well as tremendous assistance and support for each other. Our organization has been in existence since 1950, and has members fro
m Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. This is an important role because Delaware does not have a university-based speech-language and audiology program. Some of the professional opportunities offered to DSHA members include:
• ASHA approved continuing education day conferences twice a year
• Evening education programs with continuing education credits that can be applied for state licensure
• An organizational newsletter published several times each year
• An annual membership directory
• Professional support at the Delaware Legislature, Delaware Department of Education, and Delaware Board of Professional Regulation/Licensure
• An ASHA vote by DSHA which actively asks members to state opinions on how our national organization should proceed on current professional issues
Being a small state and organization offers each member a unique opportunity to have his/her opinions heard. Please check other areas of this website to learn more about DSHA. If you have specific questions, feel free to e-mail me. Christine Virion
President, DSHA 2013
