title: Standards for professional service programs in audiology and speech-language pathology.
abstract: In the June/July 1991 issue of Asha, the Council on Professional Standards published for comment proposed revisions of the standards for American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Professional Services Board (PSB) accreditation. The council considered all of the comments received, made appropriate revisions, and took final action on the revised standards, which will become effective on January 1, 1994. The new standards and implementation statements related to each standard are provided in the following sections. The Standards represent requirements that must be met by all applicants. Implementation Statements are designed to interpret and supplement the standards by providing examples, referencing relevant policy or guideline statements, or specifying types of data or other documentation relevant to a specific standard. The implementation statements were developed by the PSB and have been reviewed by the Council on Professional Standards.
