BCS-SCF Life-Time Member Status is awarded in recognition of previous specialty certification (or recognition prior to January 1, 2014) in stuttering, cluttering, and fluency disorders. Once an application has been submitted, it is reviewed, and acceptance is based upon the Standards for BCS-SCF Life-Time Member Status. Please see details below regarding application and maintenance, as well as pages 22–23 of the Standards and Procedures Manual .
