A Guide For Parents from the Specialty Board on Fluency Disorders


Welcome to the Home Page for the Specialty Board on Fluency Disorders. This website is designed to help consumers and professionals locate speech-language pathologists who are Board Recognized Specialists in Fluency Disorders: professionals who have gone beyond the basic clinical certification (SLP-CCC) awarded by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA).

Board Recognized Specialists in Fluency Disorders are individuals who have demonstrated a high level of clinical expertise in treating fluency disorders, advanced knowledge, and a commitment to serving people with fluency disorders. They have submitted their credentials for review and approval by a Board of peers. This Specialty Recognition Program is an approved program of ASHA.

In addition to being a resource for the consumer, this site is also designed for the professional who is seeking Board Recognition in Fluency Disorders or for those interested in becoming Fluency Specialist Mentors. Information on continuing education and upcoming events focused on the area of stuttering can also be found on this site.
