Preparing for the Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) Education Survey

The 2023 CSD Education Survey will open August 1 and close October 31, 2023, and will collect data for the fall 2022 to summer 2023 academic period.

Step I: Data Collection

Academic programs are encouraged to begin collecting data as they become available before starting the survey. This helps ensure a smooth data entry process. Please refer to ASHA's CSD Education Survey Data Preparation Tips webpage to help your program collect these data before starting the survey.

Step II: Authorized Users

Prior to fielding the annual survey, the chair and/or program director receives an e-mail from CSDEducationSurvey@asha.org asking for verification or identification of new faculty/staff (“survey editors”) who will assist with completing the survey on behalf of the institution's program(s). Upon receipt of any changes, institution records are updated accordingly.

The chair and/or program director have full responsibility to update and maintain the accuracy of the data reported for their institution's programs. Chairs and/or program directors are required to e-mail critical program changes, including the addition or removal of survey access for faculty or staff to CSDEducationSurvey@asha.org.
