## Summary

**A resolution that would mark the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's 100th year and honor its role improving care for people with communication disorders.** The measure would recognize ASHA's roughly 241,000 members and certificate holders and commemorate a century of advancing audiology and speech-language pathology. It would highlight ASHA's work on science, education, professional standards, and advocacy for accessible, quality care. The text cites ASHA's role in promoting state licensing in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and its support for laws such as the Affordable Care Act, the Steve Gleason Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Act of 2022, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It also notes that communication disorders affect tens of millions and that May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month.
