From Students Like You
I love how active and passionate NSSLHA is in bringing together students across the nation who are interested in SLP or AUD. It does a great job providing resources to individuals who may be unsure of what to do, as well as connecting people to others with the same passions and interests.
I was able to attend the ASHA Convention at a more affordable cost as a National NSSLHA member. I also enjoy having access to resources, such as journal articles, to keep up with the latest evidence-based practice.
As a future Latina SLP, I appreciate all of the resources about diversity in our field of work. I'm also grateful for the opportunity to be eligible for scholarships to help fund my education!
