About ASHA's Grassroots Program
There are a variety of ways in which ASHA members can advocate for the professions and individuals with communication disorders at the grassroots level. These activities are rewarding, effective, educational, and do not require a major time commitment on your part! Visiting and writing your elected representatives on a regular basis is the best way to keep them informed about the issues that are important to you.
