Celebrating 100 Years of ASHA: Legacy. Impact. Possibilities.

For a century, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has championed its members — and the science and practice of addressing communication disorders. Together, we’ve empowered millions to connect, thrive, and achieve effective communication. From advancing groundbreaking research to advocating for key legislation, ASHA’s legacy is built on the transformative work of audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; and assistants. As we celebrate our past, we’re inspired by the possibilities ahead. Join us in honoring 100 years of impact — and envisioning the next century of innovation, inclusion, and progress. Explore our story — and discover how ASHA is shaping the future.
