ASHA has established an Ad Hoc Committee on the Role of the Speech-Language Pathologist in Identifying and Treating Children with Auditory/Linguistic Processing Disorders. The committee is charged with reviewing and analyzing the evidence related to auditory/linguistic processing disorders in children and developing documents related to the role of the speech-language pathologist. The committee will work to clarify the role of the SLP, reach consensus on what to call such disorders, and determine the interface between audiology and speech-language pathology in the identification, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention of disorders involving the auditory processing of linguistic information. Members of the committee, chaired by Gail J. Richard, are Marc E. Fey, Alan G. Kamhi, Janet M. Krebs, Jay R. Lucker, Deborah Ross-Swain, Sally E. Shaywitz, Diane R. Paul (ex officio), and Brian B. Shulman (monitoring vice president). For more information, contact Diane Paul at dpaul@asha.org.
