The Importance of Certification and Licensure
Why is it important to work with a certified and licensed speech-language pathologist? Certification and licensure are critical markers of professional competence and ethical standards. When your therapist is CCC-SLP certified, it means they have successfully completed:
A graduate program accredited by ASHA
A clinical fellowship under the supervision of an experienced SLP
National and state examinations
These qualifications ensure that your therapist has the skills and knowledge necessary to provide safe and effective therapy. Additionally, maintaining licensure requires ongoing education, which means our therapists are constantly up-to-date with the latest research and techniques in speech therapy.
Why Experience Matters in Speech Therapy
Experience is a significant factor in the quality of care you or your child will receive. While academic qualifications provide a strong foundation, hands-on experience in clinical settings is equally important. On average, Better Speech therapists have around 10 years of clinical experience, working with diverse populations and a wide variety of speech and language disorders.
This wealth of experience allows our therapists to identify and address specific communication issues more accurately. Whether you're seeking therapy for speech delays, fluency disorders, or language comprehension, our experienced therapists can create a treatment plan that is both individualized and effective.
