Speech-Language Pathologist Business Cards for CCC-SLP ASHA Certified Professionals

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), also called speech therapists, are the ASHA certified clinicians who assess, diagnose, and treat communication disorders (speech, language, voice, fluency, and social communication) and swallowing disorders (dysphagia) across the entire lifespan — from evaluating language development in infants and toddlers, providing AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) devices for individuals who cannot speak, treating stuttering in children and adults, and rehabilitating communication and swallowing after stroke or head/neck cancer.

What SLP Cards Include

Your Credentials

ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association):

• CCC-SLP (Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology) — the gold standard national credential for SLPs; administered by ASHA; requires a master's degree or higher from a ASHA-accredited program, 400 clinical hours during graduate school, a 36-week clinical fellowship (CF) after graduation, and passing the PRAXIS II examination in speech-language pathology; "CCC-SLP" is the most important credential designation on an SLP's business card
• CF-SLP (Clinical Fellow in Speech-Language Pathology) — the designation for SLPs actively completing their clinical fellowship year post-graduation; used on cards during the CF period
• ASHA member — American Speech-Language-Hearing Association membership; "ASHA member" or ASHA cert number
• ASHA Fellow (FAASHA or F, ASHA) — ASHA's honorary fellowship for distinguished members; very rare

State licensure:

• All 50 states and DC require SLP licensure for independent practice; SLPs are "Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist" in their state
• State license number (some SLPs include this)
• School-based SLPs may have a separate educational credential (e.g., "Licensed and Certified" by state education department for school practice)

Specialty certifications:

• BCS-S (Board Certified Specialist in Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders) — ASHA's highest specialty recognition for dysphagia specialists; requires CCC-SLP + specialized dysphagia experience + examination
• BCS-F (Board Certified Specialist in Fluency Disorders) — ASHA specialty for stuttering specialists
• BCS-CL (Board Certified Specialist in Child Language) — ASHA specialty for pediatric language specialists
• BCS-AUD-SLP — joint specialty
• COMS (Certified Oral Motor Specialist) — oral motor therapy specialty
• PROMPT trained — PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets); motor speech treatment approach; widely sought in pediatric SLP
• LSVT LOUD certified — Lee Silverman Voice Treatment LOUD; for Parkinson's disease and neurological voice/speech disorders; highly recognized specialty
• VitalStim certified — neuromuscular electrical stimulation for dysphagia
• MBSS (Modified Barium Swallow Study) — credentialing in instrumental swallowing evaluation; ASHA competencies
• FEES competent (Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) — instrumental swallowing evaluation
• ReST trained (Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment) — for childhood apraxia of speech
• DIR/Floortime trained — for autism and social communication
• Hanen certified (SCERTS, More Than Words, It Takes Two to Talk) — early language intervention approaches
• PECS trained (Picture Exchange Communication System) — AAC approach for autism
