Bekende Antilianen in extase na behalen WK-ticket: 'Het was geweldig'

Het is een eiland met iets meer dan 150.000 inwoners, maar doet volgend jaar zomer gewoon mee met het WK voetbal in Amerika. Curaçao plaatste zich in de nacht van dinsdag op woensdag in een bloedstollend duel tegen Jamaica. Een aantal bekende Antilianen vieren al 24 uur lang feest en zijn door het dolle heen.

ASHA/CAA propose removing language about DEI/culture from accreditation standards.

Please SPEAK UP about the damage this will do and the progress it will erase toward providing equitable care & educating future professionals.

Provide feedback via the survey in chain below.

Recent federal executive orders have resulted in legal scrutiny surrounding terminology related to cultural competency, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Even when terminology is lawfully applied and considered essential for clinical practice, some of the terminology within the 2020 certification standards could put ASHA’s certification programs at risk from government, state, and private actors. ASHA’s Council for Clinical Certification in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CFCC) is taking steps that are necessary to (a) ensure the longevity and integrity of ASHA’s certification programs and (b) protect clients/patients/students’ access to safe and effective care. The values of ASHA’s certification programs are not changing.

The CFCC is proposing modifications to the 2020 Audiology Certification Standards and the 2020 Speech-Language Pathology Certification Standards; these proposed changes are outlined below. The decision to propose these modifications was not made lightly, yet it is necessary to ensure that ASHA certification continues to be available to current and future certificants. Most importantly, this decision upholds the trust that clients, patients, and students place in ASHA-certified professionals—who have delivered essential services and high-quality care under ASHA certification standards since 1952.

Standard V-F
Supervised practicum must include experience with individuals across the lifespan and from (add:) various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. (Strike through: culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds.) Practicum must include experience with individuals with various types and severities of communication and/or related disorders, differences, and disabilities.

Standard VIII: Maintenance of Certification
Certificate holders must demonstrate continued professional development for maintenance of the CCC-SLP.

Implementation: Clinicians who hold the CCC-SLP must accumulate and report 30 professional development hours (PDHs) [formerly certification maintenance hours (CMHs)], which is equivalent to 3.0 ASHA continuing education units (CEUs). The PDHs must include a minimum of 1.0 PDH (or 0.1 ASHA CEU) in ethics and 2.0 PDHs (or 0.2 ASHA CEU) in (add) person-centered care and/or professional interactions* (strike through cultural competency, cultural humility, culturally responsive practice, or DEI) during every 3-year certification maintenance interval. The ethics requirement began with the 2020–2022 maintenance interval, and the (add )person-centered care and/or professional interactions* requirement (strike through: cultural competency, cultural humility, culturally responsive practice, or DEI)requirement began with the 2023–2025 certification maintenance interval.

Speech-Language Pathology Certification Standards

Standard IV-B
The applicant must have demonstrated knowledge of basic human communication and swallowing processes—including the appropriate biological, neurological, acoustic, psychological, developmental, and linguistic and cultural bases. The applicant must have demonstrated the ability to integrate information pertaining to (strike through typical and atypical) replace with: normal and abnormal human development across the lifespan.

Standard IV-G
The applicant must have demonstrated knowledge of contemporary professional issues. Implementation: The applicant must have demonstrated knowledge of professional issues that affect speech-language pathology. Issues may include but are not limited to trends in professional practice; academic program accreditation standards; ASHA practice policies and guidelines; add: person-centered care; (strike through cultural competency and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)); educational legal requirements or policies; and reimbursement procedures.
