Speech Language Pathologists in the MVCSD have certificates of clinical competence (CCC) from the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA). To maintain this certification, continuous study is required. Each month, our staff participate in professional development to enhance skills that will ensure state-of-the-art therapeutic services for students. Therapy provided for students follows guidelines from ASHA and the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions (NYSEDOP).
